David's Bridal, one of the largest sellers of wedding gowns in the U.S., has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time, 6abc.com reported. The news comes just days after the formalwear store chain said it would be eliminating 9,236 positions across the United States. The Conshohocken, Pa.-based retailer employs more than 11,000 workers. David's Bridal said that it is looking to sell the company, but in the meantime, stores are open and fulfilling orders for brides without disruption or delay. The announcement today marks the second time that David's Bridal has filed for bankruptcy in the last five years. The company previously filed for bankruptcy in 2018 after being laden with growing debt and declining sales of wedding dresses. It emerged from bankruptcy in 2019 as it continued to try to fix the business.
