Hilco Consumer-Retail Group Takes Charge of Salt Life's Sales
Iconix International Inc., a well-known brand management company, has teamed up with Hilco Consumer-Retail Group, a leader in retail services, to oversee the closing sales of the cherished active lifestyle brand, Salt Life. This collaboration follows a strategic acquisition during a bankruptcy auction that brought not only the Salt Life brand but also its related assets under their care.
Transitioning Salt Life to a New Business Model
Hilco will assist Iconix as Salt Life shifts its focus toward strengthening its wholesale and e-commerce operations. For many who love the ocean and enjoy activities like surfing, fishing, and diving, Salt Life is more than just a brand; it embodies a lifestyle. This transformation aims to align Salt Life with the changing landscape of retail.
Liquidation Sales Offer Great Deals
As part of this transition, operations will wind down over the coming months, which will result in the closure of several Salt Life retail locations. Recently, liquidation sales began in numerous stores nationwide, featuring substantial discounts on Salt Life products.
Unprecedented Discounts and Merchandise
During these liquidation sales, customers can find discounts of up to 40% on popular items like t-shirts, shorts, performance wear, and accessories. These sales offer significant savings on items that reflect the Salt Life spirit. Customers are encouraged to act quickly to seize these deals while the inventory lasts.
Details on Store Closures and Sales
Along with the liquidation, customers can buy store fixtures and equipment at discounted prices. Gift cards will be valid during the first 30 days of the sale, after which they will no longer be accepted. Additionally, items purchased before the sales began can be returned within this same 30-day period.
Streamlined Wholesale Process for Retailers
In addition to the liquidation sales, Hilco will also manage the wholesale inventory from distribution centers, offering a simplified purchasing model for retailers interested in stocking Salt Life products. This initiative allows businesses to either replenish their Salt Life inventory or introduce the brand to their own offerings.

Founded in 2003, Salt Life began as a simple graphic decal and has grown into a globally recognized brand that represents a strong connection to the ocean and saltwater sports. Over time, Salt Life has expanded its product line to include stylish apparel and gear designed to endure the demands of marine environments.
