What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees cannot modify the store or make changes to the Amorino system without express prior written consent from Amorino. This requirement ensures that all Amorino locations maintain a consistent brand image and operational standards.
Amorino retains the right to modify the system, including products, services, and operating procedures, at its sole discretion. Franchisees are obligated to comply with these modifications at their own expense, including any necessary equipment replacements, remodeling, or structural changes. Amorino will provide written notice of such modifications, specifying a reasonable timeframe for implementation.
These stipulations are typical in franchising, allowing Amorino to maintain uniformity and quality control across all franchise locations. However, franchisees should be aware of the potential costs associated with implementing required changes and the importance of obtaining written consent before making any alterations to the store or system. Franchisees should carefully review the terms of the franchise agreement and seek clarification from Amorino regarding any concerns about modifications or changes to the system.
