What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for leasehold improvements, which includes construction, remodeling, alterations, and decorating expenses, ranges from $140,000 to $400,000 for a traditional store. These costs are paid to a third-party contractor as incurred.
It is important to note that these costs can vary significantly based on several factors. These factors include the initial condition of the leased space, whether the landlord contributes to build-out costs, local zoning requirements, the potential need for fire sprinkler systems or soundproofing, the availability of qualified builders in the area, and any unforeseen issues that may arise during construction. Amorino recommends consulting with a professional architect and the relevant local authorities and obtaining written quotes from multiple builders before entering into a franchise agreement.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and obtain detailed estimates to accurately assess the potential costs for leasehold improvements. Given the wide range, understanding the specific conditions of the chosen location is crucial for budgeting and financial planning. Franchisees should also clarify with Amorino which specific construction standards and design elements are mandatory to avoid unexpected expenses.
