The assets include the highly recognized Hale & Hearty^® brand name, wholesome soup recipes, and related intangible assets.

Started in a small storefront on the Upper East Side of New York City, Hale & Hearty^® grew quickly into a well-known brand, offering nourishing soups, salads, and sandwiches to busy city-goers. Beloved for its homemade, wholesome, delicious soups and culinary offerings, including sandwiches and salads, Hale & Hearty^® ladled up hundreds of soups and more to New Yorkers and Bostonians for more than 20 years.

Bids are due on or before March 27, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. (ET), and an auction will be conducted on March 29, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. (ET).

Parties interested in participating in the auction must submit bids equal to or greater than $340,000.

Hilco Streambank Senior Vice President Richelle Kalnit commented, “The Hale & Hearty^® brand is iconic in the Northeast and resonates strongly with a large customer base. An acquirer of the Hale & Hearty^® brand assets has the unique opportunity to leverage this widely recognized name and recipe list for a variety of strategic go-forward plans, whether to reopen retail locations serving those returning to the office, offer catering, bring the brand to supermarkets and specialty food stores, extend the brand to offerings beyond soups, and more.”
