What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pearce Bespoke's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must meet all current Brand Standards to renew their franchise agreement. The initial franchise agreement lasts for 10 years, but a franchisee has the option to renew for up to two additional 5-year periods.
However, to be eligible for renewal, the franchisee must satisfy several conditions. These include providing advance written notice of their intent to renew, signing the then-current Franchise Agreement (which may have materially different terms than the original), paying a renewal fee, completing any required remodeling, and securing an extension of their lease. Most importantly, the franchisee must be in full compliance with the current Franchise Agreement throughout its entire term and must meet all current Brand Standards at the time of renewal.
This requirement ensures that all Pearce Bespoke franchises maintain a consistent level of quality and service, protecting the brand's reputation. It also means that franchisees need to stay updated on any changes to the Brand Standards and invest in necessary upgrades or modifications to their business to remain compliant. The Franchise Agreement and renewal are subject to state law, so franchisees should be aware of any specific regulations in their state.
