What does the Clothier Inventory Package fee estimate cover for a Pearce Bespoke franchise?

According to Pearce Bespoke's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Clothier Inventory Package fee estimates the costs associated with purchasing Pearce Bespoke's signature trunk, a set of fabric, and lining sample books. The FDD states that the low estimate for this package is $0, assuming the franchisee is the operator and has already purchased the Opening Inventory & Equipment Package. The high estimate is $5,400, assuming the franchisee hires two clothiers, requiring them to purchase the $2,700 Inventory Package for each clothier. This fee is paid as a lump sum before opening the franchise to Pearce Bespoke.

For a prospective Pearce Bespoke franchisee, this means that the initial investment can vary significantly depending on the staffing model. If the franchisee intends to be the sole operator, they may not incur this cost if they've already purchased the Opening Inventory & Equipment Package. However, if the plan is to hire clothiers, the franchisee must factor in the cost of the inventory package for each clothier hired, which can substantially increase the initial investment.

It's important to note that these figures are estimates, and the actual costs may vary. The FDD does not specify the exact contents or quantities included in the signature trunk, fabric, and lining sample books, so a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Pearce Bespoke regarding the specifics of what is included in the Clothier Inventory Package to accurately assess its value and potential impact on their initial investment. Additionally, the FDD states in general that none of the expenses listed in the table are refundable.
