What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may need to relocate their store. Amorino's prior written consent is required for any relocation. However, Amorino will not unreasonably condition or delay consent if the franchisee is in material compliance with the Franchise Agreement and other agreements with Amorino or its affiliates, and if the lease expires or terminates through no fault of the franchisee, or if the premises is destroyed or damaged by a Force Majeure Event.
If a franchisee needs to relocate, they must meet the same requirements for selecting, leasing, constructing, designing, and opening a new location as they did for the initial location. The new Amorino store must be open for business within 90 days of closing the previous location. Franchisees can request an extension of time for relocation, up to a maximum cumulative additional 90 days. The franchisee is solely responsible for all relocation costs and expenses.
This policy protects franchisees from being unfairly prevented from relocating if they have upheld their contractual obligations and circumstances beyond their control necessitate the move. However, franchisees should be prepared to act quickly to secure a new location and reopen within the specified timeframe to avoid any disruption to their business. The franchisee bears the financial burden of relocation, so it's crucial to factor in these potential costs when considering the franchise opportunity.
