- (2) For any proposed site you identify, you must supply us with a description of the location in the form we specify and any other information we may reasonably require in order to evaluate the location, including demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, character of the neighborhood, information on other area businesses, and information on the Lease terms or purchase price for the proposed site. You will also advise us of any time periods within which the lessor of the proposed location requires a response, comments on and/or acceptance of the lease.
- (3) Amorino will approve or refuse to approve a proposed site within 30 days after the receipt of all information that Amorino may reasonably require in connection with its evaluation of your proposed location. Amorino's failure to provide notification within this time period shall not be considered either approval or disapproval, but rather should be considered an extension of the thirty (30) day period until a decision is communicated by Amorino. However, notwithstanding the above, we agree not to unreasonably delay our review and approval or disapproval of the proposed site and lease terms.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a prospective franchisee must provide specific information to Amorino when proposing a site for their franchise. This includes a description of the location using Amorino's specified form, along with any other information Amorino deems reasonably necessary to evaluate the site.
This evaluation data includes demographic characteristics of the area, traffic patterns, parking availability, the nature of the surrounding neighborhood, details about other businesses in the area, and information regarding the lease terms or purchase price of the proposed site. The franchisee must also inform Amorino of any deadlines imposed by the lessor for responding to, commenting on, or accepting the lease.
Amorino will then approve or reject the proposed site within 30 days of receiving all required information. Failure by Amorino to respond within this timeframe does not constitute approval or disapproval but rather an extension of the review period until a decision is communicated. However, Amorino agrees not to unreasonably delay their review and approval or disapproval of the proposed site and lease terms. This process ensures that Amorino has sufficient information to assess the suitability of the location for a new franchise, while also placing the responsibility on the franchisee to gather and submit the necessary data.
