What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Amorino Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are prohibited from installing fixtures or furnishings that have not been approved by Amorino. The franchisee is required to purchase and install all fixtures, furnishings, equipment, decor, signs, and other items that Amorino directs, following the standards and specifications outlined in the manual or in writing. This ensures uniformity and consistency across all Amorino locations.
If a franchisee wishes to purchase or lease an item of equipment, furnishings, or fixtures that Amorino has not previously approved, they must first notify Amorino. The franchisee may be required to provide photographs, drawings, specifications, or other information to allow Amorino to determine if the proposed item complies with their standards. Amorino will then advise the franchisee within a reasonable time whether the proposed equipment, furnishings, or fixtures meet the required standards and specifications.
This requirement allows Amorino to maintain brand consistency and quality control across all franchise locations. By mandating that franchisees use approved fixtures and furnishings, Amorino can ensure that each store reflects the brand's image and meets its operational standards. This also helps to protect the overall customer experience and the reputation of the Amorino brand.
