David’s Bridal is laying off thousands of employees across the country as it makes plans to sell the company — just weeks before wedding season kicks off.
The country’s largest bridal retailer fired its first round of employees Friday and plans to lay off the rest in two separate phases that will stretch through August, a WARN notice filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor shows.
A total of 9,236 employees – 82% of the workforce – will be eliminated across David’s Bridal’s 300 stores in the mass sacking.
