What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Area Development Territory Fee is calculated based on the number of locations the Area Developer commits to opening. The fee is the sum of two components: the initial franchise fee for the first location, which is $30,000, and one-half of the initial franchise fee ($15,000) multiplied by the number of additional locations included in the development schedule.
For example, if an Area Developer signs an agreement for five locations, the Area Development Territory Fee would be $90,000. This is calculated as the initial $30,000 for the first location, plus $60,000 (which is $15,000 multiplied by the four additional locations).
This fee is payable in cash or by certified check at the time the Area Development Agreement is executed. It's important for prospective Area Developers to understand this payment structure, as it requires a significant upfront investment that scales with the size of the territory and the number of Amorino stores planned for development.
