By what date must an Amorino franchisee identify a location for their store?

You may operate the Store only at the location approved by us. When you sign the franchise agreement, we will mutually agree upon a site selection area in which you can propose the location for your store. You must identify a location to serve as your franchised location for the Store by a date set forth in the franchise agreement. For any proposed site you identify, and in addition to completing a "Project Proposal" Form and "Key Elements" File, you must supply us with a description of the location in the form we specify and any other information we may reasonably require in order to evaluate the location, including demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, character of the neighborhood, information on other area businesses, and information on the lease terms or purchase price for the proposed site. You must also advise us of any time periods within which the lessor of the proposed location requires a response, comments on and/or acceptance of the lease.

The location must be within the site selection area identified in the franchise agreement, meet Amorino's then-current site selection criteria, and be approved by us. We agree not to unreasonably delay our review and approval or disapproval of the proposed site and lease terms. We consider various objective and subjective factors, as well as our business experience, in reviewing your proposed initial location and any potential new locations. Approval of locations is at our sole discretion. You shall submit to us for prior approval all construction plans, site plans and blueprints for the location we approve.
