New York--Defunct discount chain Loehmann’s is slated to return to the retail scene next month but as an e-tailer only.
The office of CAK Entertainment Inc., a brand development firm headed by Charles Koppelman, confirmed to National Jeweler Tuesday that it’s working with Esopus Creek Value Series Fund LP to resurrect the Loehmann’s name.
The retailer’s e-commerce site is slated to launch next month. While its exact URL has not yet been revealed, the site will remain focused on selling well-known brands at deeply discounted prices just as Loehmann’s stores, which numbered 40 in 11 states at the time it went out of business, did.

Koppelman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
