AKRON, Ohio -- Ebola survivor Amber Vinson wants the bridal store she shopped at in Akron to refund $479.89 for her bridesmaids' dresses.

A letter sent by an attorney representing the Dallas nurse to the Coming Attractions shop states that the bridesmaids have decided to shop for their dresses elsewhere and want a refund, News Channel 5 reported.

"In order to minimize additional public scrutiny, Amber has decided that it would be best if she used another bridal shop for her bridesmaids' dresses, and kept it strictly confidential," states a copy of the letter published by the TV station.

"The lady that was here and caused the problem here wants her money back," Coming Attractions owner Anna Younkers told News Channel 5. "That really hurts my feelings from the standpoint that we went through a lot because of this... I can't see how I can agree to this."

Vinson visited the shop last month during a visit to Northeast Ohio. Vinson, who had treated Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, tested positive for the virus after flying back to Dallas from Cleveland.

The Akron store was shuttered after the owners learned that Vinson had visited. Over a dozen people who visited the store were placed into monitoring programs to check for symptoms of the disease.

The store opened earlier this month after a three-week closure that included ultra-violet light decontamination.

Phone calls to the Dallas attorney who sent the letter, Stephen Malouf, and to Vinson's family spokesperson were not immediately returned Tuesday.
