What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain approval from Amorino before installing any fixtures or furnishings in their store. Specifically, franchisees cannot install any fixtures or furnishings that Amorino has not approved. The franchisee is responsible for purchasing and installing all fixtures, furnishings, equipment, decor, signs, and other items that Amorino directs, following the standards and specifications outlined in the manual or in writing. These purchases and installations are at the franchisee's expense.
Furthermore, if a franchisee proposes to purchase or lease any equipment, furnishings, or fixtures not previously approved by Amorino, they must notify Amorino first. Amorino may then require the franchisee to provide photographs, drawings, specifications, or other information to determine if the proposed items comply with Amorino's specifications.
Amorino will then advise the franchisee within a reasonable time whether the proposed equipment, furnishings, or fixtures meet their standards and specifications. This process ensures that all elements within the Amorino franchise maintain a consistent brand image and meet the franchisor's quality standards. This requirement is typical in franchising, as it allows the franchisor to maintain uniformity and protect the brand's reputation across all locations.
