Does the Amorino Area Developer agreement grant the Area Developer the right to subfranchise?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Area Developer agreement does not grant the right to subfranchise. The agreement explicitly states that the Area Developer cannot offer, sell, or negotiate the sale of Amorino franchises to any third party, either in their own name or on behalf of the company. This restriction also extends to subfranchising, sharing, dividing, or partitioning the agreement.

This means that an Amorino Area Developer is responsible for developing and operating stores within their designated territory themselves, and they cannot delegate the franchising responsibilities to another party. This ensures that Amorino maintains control over the quality and consistency of its brand and operations.

This restriction is fairly common in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maintain direct control over the selection and training of franchisees to protect their brand standards. While an Area Developer can develop multiple locations, they cannot create a layer of sub-franchisors between themselves and Amorino.
