David's Bridal files for bankruptcy, but stores remain open and orders being fulfilled
PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) -- David's Bridal has filed for bankruptcy protection, the second time for the chain in the past five years.

Based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, the company has about 300 stores across dozens of states and employs more than 11,000 workers.
David's Bridal has three locations in the Pittsburgh area - at The Block Northway in the North Hills, on William Penn Highway in Monroeville and in Robinson Township. There are other nearby stores in Altoona, as well as in Youngstown and Canton, Ohio.
David's Bridal is looking to sell the company, but its stores remain open and its fulfilling orders without delay. Its online platforms also remain available to help people with their wedding planning needs.
The company last filed for bankruptcy protection in 2018 but reemerged a year later.
Monday's filing was made in New Jersey.
Last week, they announced they would layoff thousands of workers.
