Under the Pearce Bespoke franchise agreement, which sections cover site selection and acquisition/lease obligations?

According to the 2025 FDD, Item 11 of the Pearce Bespoke Franchise Agreement outlines the franchisor's assistance related to site selection and leasing issues. Specifically, Pearce Bespoke will provide assistance in evaluating franchise and leasing issues related to the franchise and vehicle, if any. This assistance is provided in accordance with the standards and specifications of the Business System, as detailed in Section 7(A) of the Franchise Agreement.

This means that Pearce Bespoke offers some support to franchisees in the critical process of finding a suitable location for their mobile unit. However, the extent and nature of this assistance are tied to the Business System's standards and specifications, which franchisees must adhere to. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand what these standards and specifications entail, as they will likely influence the franchisee's options and obligations regarding site selection and leasing.

While Pearce Bespoke offers assistance, the franchisee should still conduct thorough due diligence to ensure the chosen location aligns with their business goals and financial capabilities. Understanding the franchisor's criteria and guidelines is crucial, but franchisees should also independently assess the location's suitability based on factors such as local market demand, accessibility, and competition. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Pearce Bespoke the specific details of the assistance offered and the level of control they retain in the site selection and leasing process.
