What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the inventory required to begin operating a franchise is due upon placing the first order. The cost of this inventory ranges from $17,000 to $24,500 for a standard store, and $20,000 to $69,500 for a Traditional, Kiosk, or Mobile location.
This inventory must be arranged between the franchisee and Amorino's affiliate -18 or an approved supplier. The prices provided do not include transportation costs, taxes, duties, broker fees, warehousing, or delivery expenses, which will add to the overall cost.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these costs and ensure they have sufficient capital to cover the initial inventory and related expenses. It is also important to establish a good relationship with the approved supplier to ensure timely delivery and quality of the inventory.
