What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the days and hours of operation for an Amorino store are primarily determined by the requirements of the shopping center or commercial development where the store is located, or as required by the lease agreement. However, Amorino retains the right to specify minimum days and hours of operation in the Manual or in other written directives, setting a baseline that franchisees must adhere to.
This means that a prospective Amorino franchisee needs to carefully review the lease agreement and any operating guidelines set by the shopping center to understand the mandatory hours. Amorino can then impose additional requirements on top of those, but not less. This ensures that all Amorino stores maintain a consistent brand presence and are available to customers during key hours.
For a potential franchisee, this clause highlights the importance of location selection and lease negotiation. The franchisee will need to factor in the operating hour requirements when evaluating the profitability of a location. Additionally, the franchisee must stay informed of any changes to Amorino's mandated hours of operation, as these could impact staffing and operational costs.
