The available assets include Stein Mart brand, label brands, domain names, social media assets, and customer data.

In August, Stein Mart, along with its subsidiaries, filed for Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida–Jacksonville Division.

Hilco Streambank senior vice-president Richelle Kalnit said: “The company’s investment in omnichannel capabilities resulted in double-digit sales growth for SteinMart.com and helped them reach an average online order value of $80.

“Stein Mart was a pioneer in bringing the off-price model online and providing the customer multiple options to engage with the brand, including buy online, pick up in store and buy online, ship from store, resulting in year-over-year sales growth in 2019 and 2020.
