Training

The franchisor provides various types of training for its franchisees, which include:

1. Mandatory Training for Store Managers: This training consists of up to 30 days of on-the-job and classroom sessions at a designated existing store location or at the corporate office in West Covina, California. The training is aimed at providing operational and managerial skills.
2. Mandatory Pre-opening Training: A 3-day training program is provided before the store's opening, which covers the essential knowledge and practices required to start and run a franchise store successfully.
3. Owner Training: A mandatory one-day training session is conducted for franchisee owners, focusing on an overview of operational responsibilities and strategic insights.
4. Additional Employee Training: Support is provided for further training of other employees as required. This includes training delivered by the franchisor and/or its affiliates.‍

‍Territory Protection

The franchisor does not offer exclusive or protected territorial rights to its franchisees. This means franchisees may face competition not only from other Miniso franchisees but also from company-owned stores or other channels of distribution such as online sales or partnerships with third-party retailers.

The franchisor reserves the right to open additional locations or license new franchises without any obligation to maintain a specific distance from an existing store. Additionally, the franchisor retains full discretion to sell Miniso products through any retail or distribution channel, including grocery stores, department stores, and e-commerce platforms.

Franchisees do not have the right to restrict or limit such activities, nor are they granted preferential rights to additional locations or territorial expansion. This policy ensures flexibility for the franchisor while emphasizing the non-exclusive nature of the franchise agreement.
