Franchise apparel questions

What is a franchise apparel program?

It is one approved set of branded apparel your franchisees order from, with artwork, colors, and blanks locked to a master spec we keep on file. It keeps every location on-brand and makes opening a new store one order instead of a design project. Each item is priced in tiers at 50, 100, and 250 pieces, delivered.

How does it keep every location on-brand?

Because franchisees order from an approved lineup, not a blank catalog. Every order runs against a master spec, exact logo files, colors, blanks, and placements, so an off-brand shirt cannot slip through. When brand standards change, we update the master spec once and every location's next order follows it.

Can each location order on its own?

Yes. The program works both ways: a central team can place orders for locations, or each franchisee can order from the approved lineup directly. Either way it is the same approved pieces. One US address per order; place a separate order for each address. A franchisee's own order ships straight to their store.

How long does a new location's order take?

About 3 weeks from mockup approval to in hand: about 2 weeks of production, then about 1 week of shipping, so order at least three weeks before opening day. Standing up a program takes a first pass to approve the lineup and master spec; after that, each location's order skips the setup because the spec is already locked.

Do you accept purchase orders for franchise orders?

Yes. Paid in full by Stripe invoice, card or ACH. School, district and company purchase orders accepted. We can provide a W-9 on request, and we spell out the simple steps in your quote. Corporate-office buyers usually run their head-office pieces through company swag on the same purchase order. Quotes are guaranteed for 30 days.

Can we bring an existing franchise apparel program to you?

Yes. If you already run a program somewhere else, send your current lineup and brand standards, the pieces, blanks, decoration, and artwork, and the quotes team maps it to a delivered quote your franchisees can order from. You keep your brand standards, and you will need to own or have the rights to the brand artwork.

More about the franchise apparel program

One approved apparel program for every location you open

The hardest part of scaling a franchise brand is not the first location: it is keeping the fiftieth looking like the first. When every franchisee sources their own apparel, logos drift, colors wander, and the brand you spent years building shows up a little different in every market. A franchise apparel program fixes that by making one approved apparel lineup the only thing anyone orders. We build the program with the franchisor, lock the artwork and specs to a master file, and give every location a simple way to reorder exactly that.

What's in the program

We build the lineup around how your locations operate: crew tees and caps for the floor, embroidered polos for managers and franchise owners, outerwear for cooler markets, and any customer-facing pieces your brand standards call for. Each piece is set to a specific approved blank, decoration, and placement, so there is no guesswork per order.

Brand control by master spec

The whole point is consistency, so we keep a master spec on file, exact logo files, thread and ink colors, blanks, and placements, and every order runs against it. Franchisees cannot accidentally order an off-brand shirt because the approved lineup is what they order from. The reorder mechanics are the same as the crew apparel program.

One order per new location

Opening day apparel should not be a scramble. A new franchisee tells us the location and quantities, and we produce the approved lineup and ship it, duties paid, to that one store address, with a free mockup to confirm before anything is made. The same program covers ongoing reorders as locations restock and rehire.

Caps across every location

A franchise apparel program lives or dies on whether location four looks like location one, and the items most likely to drift are the ones added later. Custom caps are the easiest piece in the program to reorder: one size, no size run to collect, and nothing left over at the end of a season. They are embroidered against the same digitized logo and thread colors we keep on file as the rest of the lineup.

What to send for a fast quote

Your brand standards or style guide, and print-ready logo files. The apparel pieces you want in the approved lineup. How many locations, and roughly how many people per location. Whether locations order centrally or each store orders its own. Any paperwork you need: see how purchase orders work.
