What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can relocate their store only with Amorino's prior written consent. Amorino will not unreasonably condition or delay consent if the lease expires or terminates through no fault of the franchisee, or if the premises is destroyed or damaged by a Force Majeure Event, provided the franchisee is in material compliance with the Franchise Agreement.
The franchisee must meet the same requirements for selecting, leasing, constructing, designing, and opening a new location as they did for the initial location. The Amorino store must be open for business at the new location within 90 days of closing at the previous location.
The franchisee can request an extension of time for relocation, up to a maximum cumulative additional 90 days. The franchisee is solely responsible for all relocation costs and expenses. If the lease expires or the right to possession is lost without franchisee fault, Amorino will not terminate the agreement as long as the franchisee relocates and reopens the Amorino store within 180 days from the date the prior lease terminated. The terms of the agreement will apply to the relocated facility, and the agreement term will be extended by the time between the termination of the prior lease and the opening of the relocated facility.
