What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to be eligible for renewal, an Amorino franchisee must meet several conditions. All monetary and other obligations to Amorino and its affiliates must be current and fully satisfied. The franchisee must also be in full compliance with the existing franchise agreement and any other agreements with Amorino, its affiliates, and suppliers.
Additionally, at least 30 days before the current term expires, each guarantor of the franchisee's obligations must sign a renewal or reaffirmation of their guarantee in a form acceptable to Amorino. The franchisee must also provide evidence of a valid lease for the store premises that extends through the renewal term, ensuring that Amorino retains the same rights under the lease as in the initial term via a collateral assignment of the lease.
Furthermore, Amorino may require the franchisee to make improvements to bring the store up to Amorino's current standards for its franchisees. Amorino will provide a list of necessary renovations, upgrades, and new equipment 180 days before the term expires, though failure to provide the list on time does not waive Amorino's right to require these improvements. The franchisee must complete these improvements before the current term expires. Amorino will provide a copy of the then-current franchise agreement, which may have materially different terms and fees, at least 60 days before the expiration of the current term. Amorino retains the right to extend any deadlines related to the renewal process.
