What does Amorino consider to be included in 'common maintenance' for lease purposes?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, common maintenance, taxes, and insurance are often included in the rent for a location. Amorino franchisees can expect to pay rent in one of two ways: a fixed base rent plus common maintenance, taxes, and insurance, or on a "gross basis," which typically includes all common maintenance, taxes, and insurance.

Prospective Amorino franchisees should carefully review the lease terms to understand which expenses are included in the base rent and which are separate. This will impact the overall cost of operating the franchise. The FDD notes that rents may range from $20.00 to $200.00 per square foot per year, depending on factors such as size, condition, and location of the leased premises.

Understanding the lease agreement is crucial for budgeting and financial planning. Franchisees should consult with legal and real estate professionals to ensure they fully understand the terms of their lease and negotiate favorable conditions. Paying attention to these details can help franchisees manage their expenses effectively and improve their profitability.
