What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally not permitted to relocate their store without prior written approval from Amorino. Amorino will consider a request to relocate an Amorino store if the franchisee is in material compliance with the franchise agreement and other agreements with Amorino or its affiliates.
Amorino will not unreasonably condition or delay consent to relocate if the store's lease expires or terminates through no fault of the franchisee, or if the premises are destroyed or damaged by a fire, flood, or other force majeure event, provided these events do not result from the franchisee's negligence or misconduct. The franchisee must meet the same requirements for selecting, leasing, constructing, designing, and opening the new location as they did for the initial location.
The relocated Amorino store must be open for business within 180 days of closing the previous location. The franchisee is solely responsible for all relocation costs and expenses. This means that franchisees need to be prepared to cover expenses related to site selection, construction, and any potential lease obligations at the previous location. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these potential relocation costs and ensure they have sufficient capital to manage such a situation.
