What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial figures presented in Item 19 do not include training and living expenses. The document specifies that the figures exclude certain costs associated with establishing and operating a store, such as initial franchise fees, build-out and equipment costs, and technology and other store costs that can be capitalized.
This exclusion means that a prospective Amorino franchisee needs to budget separately for these expenses. Training expenses could include travel costs to the training location, accommodation, and meals during the training period. Living expenses would cover the franchisee's personal expenses during the initial setup phase of the business, before it becomes self-sustaining.
It is important for potential franchisees to conduct their own independent investigation of all costs they will incur in operating an Amorino store. The FDD recommends consulting with financial advisors and accountants to develop realistic financial projections that account for all potential expenses, including those not covered in Item 19. Franchisees listed in the disclosure document may be another source of information.
