Reporting periods and scope

U.S. locations

2026 FDD Item 20 Table 1 reports 13 franchised and 338 company-owned U.S. outlets (351 total) at fiscal year-end 2025.

Worldwide locations

8,309 MINISO stores worldwide as of June 30, 2026, across all reported operating models. The issuer explicitly reports 8,309 MINISO-brand stores:4,665 mainlandChina and 3,644 overseas. The 8,674 group total includes 365 TOPTOY stores and is excluded from the MINISO metric. No parent total is allocated. The source includes directly operated, RetailPartner and distributor stores in both regions. These source operating models are not relabeled U.S. franchises. Store counts are distinct from license agreements, pipeline, room counts or same-store-sales sample definitions. These are unaudited quarterly issuer statistics published August 28,2026. No U.S.-only allocation, new issuer/brand mapping or current-owner assertion is inferred. TOPTOY is an excluded companion brand, not a newly admitted catalog identity. All existing entries, financial measures, source history and typed U.S. unit fields remain unchanged. Operating subsets are only worldwide minimums; missing full-system or geographic values are not zero. No current owner identity is asserted.
