What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee needs a second extension to select a site, Amorino charges an additional fee of $6,500. This extension is not guaranteed; it is granted at Amorino's discretion. To be eligible, the franchisee must have already paid the fee for the first extension, have not yet secured a location after 270 days from the franchise agreement's effective date, made a written request for the extension, paid the $6,500 fee, and demonstrated continuous and diligent efforts to find a suitable location.
If Amorino approves the second extension, it can extend the Site Selection Date by up to 180 days, making a total of up to 450 days from the Effective Date. This extension provides additional time for the franchisee to find an appropriate location, but it comes at a significant cost and requires proof of ongoing effort.
This policy highlights the importance of thorough site selection and the potential financial implications of delays. Prospective Amorino franchisees should carefully consider the site selection process and timeline, as well as the costs associated with potential extensions, when evaluating the franchise opportunity.
