 Exhibit 10.1 

Execution Version 
 CONSENT,
WAIVER, AND SEVENTH AMENDMENT 
 TO LOAN, GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

This Consent, Waiver, and Seventh Amendment to Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of
November 14, 2014 and is by and among GORDMANS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each of the other Credit Parties signatory hereto, each of the Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement defined below) party
hereto, and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”). 

BACKGROUND: 
 The
Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders, and the Agent are parties to that certain Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2009 (as amended and in effect on the date hereof, and as may be further amended,
restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). The Borrower has advised the Lender Group that the Credit Parties desire to make a prepayment of the principal of the Term Loan Indebtedness in an amount
of $15,000,000 and pay the Term Loan Agent a fee of $150,000 (collectively, the “Proposed Payment”), which constitutes a Restricted Payment under the Loan Agreement. Making the Proposed Payment at a time when the Pro Forma
Conditions have not been satisfied and without the consent of the Lender Group would violate, among other provisions, Section 7.18 of the Loan Agreement. Therefore, the Borrower has requested that the Lender Group waive the restrictions
on the prepayment of the Term Loan Indebtedness included in such provisions and terms (collectively, the “Restrictions”) in order to permit the Proposed Payment (but no other payments or prepayments), and the Lender Group has agreed
to do so, but only upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. 
 The Credit Parties have also requested that the Lender
Group grant certain amendments with respect to the Loan Agreement. The Lender Group is willing to enter into this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth below. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Incorporation of Terms and Conditions of Loan Agreement. Except as
amended hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement are specifically incorporated herein by reference. Except as amended hereby, all capitalized terms used (including in the preamble hereto) but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement, as applicable. 
 2. Consent and Waiver. Notwithstanding anything in Sections
7.18 of the Loan Agreement to the contrary, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 hereof, the Agent and the Lenders hereby (i) waive the Restrictions with respect to, and consent to, the
making of Proposed Payment, and (ii) waive any Default or Event of Default that otherwise would be occasioned thereby; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default (other 

 
than those referred to in clause (ii) above) shall exist at the time the Proposed Payment is made, (ii) the Proposed Payment is made on or before November 30, 2014, and
(iii) promptly after the making of the Proposed Payment, the Borrower delivers to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the making of such Proposed Payment and a statement from the Term Loan Agent setting forth the outstanding
amount of the Term Loan Indebtedness after giving effect to such Proposed Payment. The foregoing consent and waiver: 
 (a) shall only become
effective upon satisfaction in full of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 hereof; 
 (b) relate only to the
Proposed Payment described above, are a one-time consent and waiver, shall not be deemed to constitute a consent or waiver of the Restrictions with respect to any payment or prepayment other than the Proposed Payment or of any other non-compliance
with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, on account of the provisions of Sections 7.18, and shall not be construed as creating any course of conduct on part
of the Agent and the Lenders; and 
 (c) are made in express reliance upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all
representations, warranties, and covenants of the Credit Parties set forth herein.
