Item 12
MINISO does not grant an exclusive territory. The franchisor retains the right to license other franchisees, open company-owned units, or sell through alternative channels within or near your area. This is a significant risk factor to evaluate carefully.

Owner-Operator Required
Territory protection is one of the most consequential — and frequently misunderstood — elements of a franchise agreement. An exclusive territory means the franchisor is contractually prohibited from opening a competing unit inside your defined geographic area during the term of your agreement.
Non-exclusive territory grants no such protection. In practice, this means another franchisee could open nearby, or the franchisor itself could operate company units, sell through e-commerce, or license alternate channels that compete directly with your location.
The agreement term determines how long your rights last before renewal is required. Shorter initial terms (5 years or fewer) combined with high renewal fees can significantly affect long-term ROI projections. Transfer fees directly impact your ability to sell the franchise and recoup your investment.

Review the Full Legal Terms
Territory clauses interact with renewal, transfer, and termination rights. See the Legal page for MINISO's complete Item 17 obligations, dispute resolution terms, and governing law provisions.
Territory rights are disclosed in Item 12 of the MINISO franchise FDD and govern the single most important geographic question for any franchise buyer: can the franchisor place another unit near you, and under what conditions? Two formats dominate franchise agreements — exclusive (protected) territory and non-exclusive territory.
Exclusive territory means the franchisor agrees not to place a competing unit (corporate or franchisee) within a defined area while your agreement is in good standing. The protected area is usually defined by radius (1-3 miles is common in retail), population (e.g., 30,000 residents), zip codes, or a custom polygon. Exclusivity rarely covers online, catering, national accounts, alternative channels, or "non-traditional" locations like airports — read these carve-outs carefully.
Non-exclusive territory means the franchisor reserves the right to open additional units at its discretion — even immediately adjacent to yours. This is the default for many fast-growing systems. Non-exclusivity isn't automatically a deal-breaker; some brands have such operational uniformity that adjacent units actually expand the pie rather than cannibalize. But it does require you to evaluate the franchisor's growth strategy in your trade area before signing.
Review MINISO franchise territory rights alongside Item 11 (the franchisor's obligations) and the franchise agreement itself — territory carve-outs are sometimes documented in the agreement rather than the FDD summary. Ask current franchisees how the franchisor has handled territory disputes historically. Past behavior is more predictive than contract language alone.
