David's Bridal eyes early December opening in Idaho Falls

Electrical contractors were busy Monday at the Idaho Falls David's Bridal store.

David's Bridal is looking at an opening date on or around Dec. 7, a spokesman for the company said Monday.

The store is in the Sagewood Shopping Center next door to Kiwi Loco, on the Idaho Falls side of Hitt Road.

With a square-footage of 5,470, it is one of the Conshohocken, Pa.-based chain's smaller stores, but Idaho Falls is one of their smaller markets, said Jim Neilland, a real estate executive for the company.

David's Bridal has had a store in Boise for 12 years, and several in Utah. With more than 300 stores in 45 states, plus stores in Canada and Puerto Rico, it is the largest American bridal store chain. It also carrries prom gowns and other formal wear.
