- For any of the Store types, you must own a location approved by us or you must lease a location approved by us. Whether you own or lease, you must improve, construct, remodel and decorate the space to our specifications. These estimates assume that your location will be a leased, unimproved, unfinished retail store-type unit. A Traditional Store typically occupies 500 to 1,500 square feet of commercial space. A Kiosk Outlet typically occupies 100 to 500 square feet of commercial space. These POS types typically are located on a major thoroughfare, or in or adjacent to a retail strip mall or shopping center, or in an urban storefront. A Mobile Structure outlet typically occupies 60 to 100 square feet of commercial space, and is typically located within an
enclosed shopping mall, college campus, or other closed market environment. Your lease is subject to our approval and must contain certain terms we require, as described in your franchise agreement. Rents may range from $20.00 to $200.00 per square foot per year, depending upon factors such as size, condition and location of the leased premises. Your rent will generally be a fixed base rent plus common maintenance, taxes and insurance. However, some leases will be on a "gross basis" which would typically include all common maintenance, taxes and insurance. Your lease may also provide for percentage rent, which will be a percentage of your sales at the Store.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are three main store types available for franchisees: Traditional Stores, Kiosk Outlets, and Mobile Structure outlets. The FDD specifies the typical size and location characteristics for each type.
A Traditional Store typically occupies 500 to 1,500 square feet of commercial space. A Kiosk Outlet is smaller, typically occupying 100 to 500 square feet. Both Traditional Stores and Kiosk Outlets are typically located on a major thoroughfare, in or adjacent to a retail strip mall or shopping center, or in an urban storefront. These locations are designed for high visibility and accessibility to customers.
A Mobile Structure outlet is the smallest option, typically occupying 60 to 100 square feet. These mobile units are usually located within an enclosed shopping mall, college campus, or other closed market environment. This format allows for flexibility in reaching customers in specific, high-traffic areas.
Regardless of the store type, Amorino must approve the location, whether it is owned or leased by the franchisee. The lease agreement must also contain specific terms required by Amorino. Rent costs can vary significantly, ranging from $20.00 to $200.00 per square foot per year, depending on factors such as size, condition, and location. The lease may include a fixed base rent, common maintenance, taxes, insurance, or even a percentage of sales.
