What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for all relocation costs and expenses associated with moving their store. Amorino will not unreasonably condition or delay consent to a relocation request if the lease expires or terminates through no fault of the franchisee, or if the premises are destroyed or damaged by a force majeure event, provided that the event does not result from the franchisee's negligence or misconduct.
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 180 days of closing at the previous location.
This means that if an Amorino franchisee needs to move their store for any approved reason, they will bear the full financial burden of the relocation. This includes costs related to site selection, lease negotiation, construction, design, and any other expenses incurred during the relocation process. The franchisee also has a limited time frame of 180 days to reopen in the new location, adding pressure to manage the relocation efficiently.
