What is the condition for the high estimate for the Clothier Recruiting Package for a Pearce Bespoke franchise?

According to the 2025 Pearce Bespoke Franchise Disclosure Document, the high estimate for the Clothier Recruiting Package includes all the costs associated with using an approved vendor to assist in recruiting potential clothiers to operate the franchise. The estimated timeframe for recruiting is 7 to 21 days, including approximately one week to set up the job posting, conduct interviews, and make a hire, followed by up to two additional weeks for training and onboarding, depending on candidate availability.

For a prospective Pearce Bespoke franchisee, this means that if they choose to utilize the approved vendor for recruiting clothiers, they should anticipate spending up to $6,000, as shown in Item 7. This cost covers the entire recruiting process, from setting up the job posting to the final stages of training and onboarding the new hire. The timeframe for this process is estimated to be between one and three weeks.

It's important to note that the low estimate for the Clothier Recruiting Package is $0, which assumes the franchisee will handle the recruiting process themselves. Therefore, the decision to use the approved vendor and incur the $6,000 expense depends on the franchisee's preference and capabilities in recruiting qualified personnel. This cost is a one-time expense incurred before opening the franchise.
