What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino will provide franchisees with written specifications for initial and replacement supplies, equipment, and exterior and interior signs before the store opens. The franchisee is then responsible for purchasing these items to equip the store according to Amorino's requirements for fixtures, furnishings, equipment, interior and exterior signage, artwork, and graphics.
Amorino may have a list of approved vendors and suppliers from whom franchisees are required or recommended to purchase these items. In many cases, franchisees are required to purchase these items from Amorino's affiliate, -18° or Amorino Trading.
While Amorino does not directly deliver or install the equipment, they may help coordinate the delivery and the installation of most furniture, fixtures, and equipment. However, Amorino will not help coordinate the delivery and installation of any equipment which they have not authorized the franchisee to purchase and install. This ensures that the Amorino brand maintains consistency across all franchise locations.
