What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino and its affiliates have the authority to act as suppliers for goods, services, products, and supplies that franchisees are required to purchase. This includes Proprietary Products, collectively referred to as "Amorino Goods and Services." Amorino retains the right to designate themselves or their affiliates as the sole suppliers of these Amorino Goods and Services.

As a franchisee, you are obligated to purchase all required Amorino Goods and Services from Amorino or its designated sources. The prices for these goods and services will be determined by the supplier and are subject to their current purchase terms and conditions. This means Amorino has significant control over the supply chain and costs associated with running the franchise.

This arrangement allows Amorino to maintain quality control and consistency across all franchise locations. However, it also means franchisees have limited or no ability to negotiate prices or seek alternative suppliers for essential products. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the potential impact of these purchasing requirements on their profitability and operational flexibility. It is also important to note that Amorino may receive revenue or rebates from approved suppliers based on franchisee purchases.
