What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pearce Bespoke's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Annual Certification Training, which all active clothiers are required to attend, may be held either online or in person. If the training is in person, the location will be one designated by Pearce Bespoke. The FDD also states that the anticipated cost for this recertification is approximately $199, and it will be held monthly.
This means that as a Pearce Bespoke franchisee, you should be prepared to attend either an online or in-person training session annually, with the location of the in-person training determined by Pearce Bespoke. You should also budget approximately $199 per session for the training. The document specifies that the training is required for all active clothiers, so failing to attend could potentially result in penalties or impact your franchise agreement.
The fact that Pearce Bespoke reserves the right to hold the training either online or in person gives them flexibility, but it also means franchisees need to be prepared to travel if an in-person location is selected. It is important to factor in potential travel costs (transportation, accommodation, meals) in addition to the $199 session fee if the training is not held online. Franchisees should inquire with Pearce Bespoke about how far in advance they will be notified about the training format (online vs. in-person) and location to allow for adequate planning and budgeting.
