Dozens of Salt Life retail stores across the country are closing following the company’s recent purchase.
Hilco Consumer-Retail Group, one of the new owners of the brand, announced Tuesday that it will be closing all 28 retail locations.
Liquidation is underway as new ownership plans to restructure the fashion company and lay out a plan for the future of the brand.
