Where must I purchase the signage for my Beard Papas shop?

According to the 2025 Beard Papas Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase all signage from sources that meet the brand's standards and specifications. Specifically, franchisees are required to purchase signage from Beard Papas' designated suppliers. This requirement ensures that all signage maintains a consistent brand image and meets the franchisor's quality standards.

This restriction on signage sourcing is part of a broader system of source restrictions that Beard Papas imposes on franchisees. These restrictions are in place to maintain uniformity and quality control across all franchise locations. The FDD indicates that these designated suppliers are listed in the manuals, and franchisees will be notified of any changes to the approved supplier list.

For a prospective Beard Papas franchisee, this means they will not be able to choose their own signage vendors. Instead, they must rely on the suppliers approved by Beard Papas. While this limits the franchisee's autonomy, it also ensures that the signage aligns with the brand's standards, potentially contributing to a consistent and recognizable brand presence. Franchisees should consult the operations manual for the current list of approved signage vendors and any specific requirements for signage design and installation.
