What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total estimated initial investment for a store ranges from $106,700 to $182,500. This investment covers various pre-opening expenses.
Specifically, the initial investment includes items such as restaurant and other supplies, which are estimated at $10,000. A P.O.S. (Point of Sale) system is required, costing between $1,500 and $2,500. The initial inventory needed to begin operating ranges from $17,000 to $24,500. There is also a store opening promotional fee of $3,000.
Additionally, Amorino charges a store opening assistance/initial training fee of $4,200 to $6,500, which covers the costs for the franchisee to attend a ten-day initial training program in Paris, France, including travel, lodging, and dining. Furthermore, the initial investment includes an estimated $21,000 to $42,000 for additional funds to cover the first three months of operation. These additional funds are intended to cover expenses such as payroll, rent, utilities, telephone, legal/accounting fees, and local advertising, but do not include any salary for the franchisee.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review each component of the initial investment with Amorino and their professional advisors to ensure they have sufficient capital to launch and sustain the business during its initial months. It is important to note that these are estimates, and actual costs may vary based on location, specific circumstances, and the franchisee's management of resources.
