Is an Amorino Area Developer permitted to offer or sell Amorino franchises to third parties?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Area Developers are explicitly prohibited from offering or selling Amorino franchises to third parties. The agreement states that Area Developers cannot sell franchises in their own name or on behalf of Amorino. This restriction is clearly outlined in the section regarding assignability and subfranchising within the franchise agreement.

This means that an Area Developer's role is limited to developing and operating Amorino stores within their designated territory, according to the development schedule outlined in their agreement. They are responsible for constructing, equipping, opening, and operating the stores themselves. They cannot delegate the franchising responsibility to another party.

This restriction is in place to ensure that Amorino maintains control over the selection and qualification of its franchisees. By preventing Area Developers from subfranchising, Amorino can ensure that all franchisees meet the company's standards and are properly trained and supported. This helps to maintain the consistency and quality of the Amorino brand across all locations.

Prospective Area Developers should be aware of this restriction and understand that their role is primarily focused on development and operation, not on selling franchises. If a prospective developer is interested in subfranchising, they should discuss this with Amorino directly to understand if there are any alternative arrangements or opportunities available.
