Under what conditions can I assign the Lease for an Amorino franchise?

According to the 2025 Amorino Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can only assign their lease under specific conditions. The lease must permit assignment by the franchisee, but only if it is in connection with a sale of the franchised business that has been approved by Amorino, or directly to Amorino or its designee.

This means that an Amorino franchisee cannot independently assign the lease to another party without Amorino's explicit consent as part of an approved business sale. This provision ensures that Amorino maintains control over the location of its franchises and the parties operating within those locations.

Furthermore, the lease agreement must include an acknowledgment from both the landlord and the franchisee that Amorino is not a party to the lease and bears no liability under it unless Amorino explicitly assumes the lease. This protects Amorino from liabilities associated with the lease unless they choose to take over the lease themselves. Additionally, the franchisee and the landlord cannot amend, modify, renew, or extend the lease without Amorino's prior written consent, giving Amorino further control over the lease terms and preventing changes that could negatively impact the franchise operations.
