David’s Bridal
Expensive weddings and fancy gowns are a thing of the past. More and more brides are choosing cheaper events and more casual attire, meaning bad news for wedding gown shops like David’s Bridal. The brand is experiencing a rapid decline in sales and on top of that, they have a $520 million loan due in 2020 and $270 million of unsecured notes due by 2020.
Bon-Ton
Department store and online retailer Bon-Ton has been around for 100 years, but all good things must come to an end. The store filed for bankruptcy last year, and was then sold and liquidated. But in 2018 it re-opened for e-commerce as well as the re-launch of a few stores. They were first successful because they were in small towns with zero competition, then Amazon came along and changed things.
