BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — David's Bridal, the largest bridal retailer in the United States, has filed for bankruptcy protection. The move will impact two locations in Western New York.

David's Bridal is looking to sell the company but if it does not find a buyer it could have to close all stores.
According to a New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN), The stores on Niagara Falls Boulevard in the Town of Tonawanda and in the McKinley Plaza on McKinley Parkway in Blasdell will see layoffs.
A representative from the company told 7 News that no bridal appointments will be impacted and dresses are still expected to arrive on time.
"David’s Bridal stores in the New York area are open for business, we intend to fulfill orders without disruption or delay, and customers should not expect to see any change in the unparalleled service level they have come to expect from our Dream Makers."
