What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a Traditional Store or Kiosk is $30,000. This fee is payable upon signing the Franchise Agreement. The FDD specifies that this initial franchise fee is not refundable.
Prospective Amorino franchisees should be aware that this fee grants them the right to operate a franchise under the Amorino brand and utilize its system. It's a one-time payment made at the beginning of the franchising process. This fee does not cover other startup costs such as inventory, real estate, or equipment, which are detailed separately in the FDD. For a traditional Store or a kiosk outlet, you must purchase $20,000 to $69,500 in inventory to begin operating.
It is common practice in the franchise industry for franchisors to charge an initial franchise fee. This fee typically covers the franchisor's costs associated with granting the franchise, including training, support, and use of the brand's intellectual property. The non-refundable nature of the fee is also standard, as it compensates the franchisor for their initial investment in setting up the franchisee. However, Amorino may offer a lower fee for 30 days from the date an amended disclosure document with the increased fees is effective in your state if you were actively considering the purchase of a franchise before the fee increase.
In addition to the initial franchise fee, prospective Amorino franchisees should carefully review the FDD for other fees and costs associated with starting and operating the franchise. Understanding all financial obligations is crucial for making an informed decision about investing in an Amorino franchise.
