What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several factors can influence the rent costs for a location. The size, condition, and location of the leased premises are key determinants. Rents can range from $20.00 to $200.00 per square foot per year, reflecting the variability in these factors. The type of location also matters, as a Traditional Store typically occupies 500 to 1,500 square feet, a Kiosk Outlet occupies 100 to 500 square feet, and a Mobile Structure outlet occupies 60 to 100 square feet.
The structure of the lease agreement also affects rent costs. Amorino franchisees can expect to pay a fixed base rent, along with additional costs for common maintenance, taxes, and insurance. However, some leases may be on a "gross basis," which includes all common maintenance, taxes, and insurance in a single payment. Additionally, the lease may include a percentage rent clause, where the franchisee pays a percentage of their sales at the store as part of the rent.
Prospective Amorino franchisees should carefully consider these factors when evaluating potential locations. The FDD emphasizes that the lease is subject to Amorino's approval and must contain certain terms specified in the franchise agreement. Understanding the potential range of rent costs and the different lease structures is crucial for making informed financial decisions and ensuring the long-term viability of the franchise.
