David’s Bridal LLC filed for bankruptcy and said it would shut down all of its stores if it doesn’t quickly find a buyer for the country’s largest bridal retail business.

The privately owned company was forced to file chapter 11 in the midst of a process to find a buyer willing to continue to operate the bridal chain. If it can’t find a buyer, it will begin a wind-down of its operations with the help of liquidation firm Gordon Brothers Retail Partners LLC, according to a filing by David’s Bridal CEO James Marcum in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Trenton, N.J.
