What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must complete a "Project Proposal" Form and a "Key Elements" File for any proposed site. In addition to these forms, the franchisee must provide a description of the location in a format specified by Amorino, along with any other information Amorino reasonably requires to evaluate the site. This additional information can include demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking availability, the character of the neighborhood, details on other businesses in the area, and information on lease terms or purchase price.
It is also crucial for the franchisee to inform Amorino of any deadlines imposed by the lessor for responding to, commenting on, or accepting the lease. This ensures that Amorino has sufficient time to review the proposed site and lease terms without facing undue pressure from external deadlines. The location must be within the site selection area identified in the franchise agreement, meet Amorino's then-current site selection criteria, and be approved by Amorino.
Amorino's approval of the site is at its sole discretion, and the company considers various objective and subjective factors, as well as its business experience, in reviewing potential locations. Furthermore, the franchisee must submit all construction plans, site plans, and blueprints for the approved location to Amorino for prior approval. This comprehensive process ensures that the chosen site aligns with Amorino's brand standards and operational requirements.
