Miniso franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Miniso does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Miniso — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn Miniso's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Miniso lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Miniso's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2023) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Miniso closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Miniso will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Miniso's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a franchise of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Miniso's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 28.6%. Net franchised outlets moved +1 to 8 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Miniso?
Miniso's franchise is offered by Miniso Depot Franchisor LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2023), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Miniso franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Miniso — who is the franchisor?
Miniso's most recently filed FDD (2023) names Miniso Depot Franchisor LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Miniso franchise cost?
Miniso's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $320,800 – $467,500, with an initial franchise fee of $30,643. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against category peers it sits in the lower quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a Miniso franchise make?
Miniso makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Miniso at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Miniso disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Miniso's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing.
Are there lawsuits against Miniso?
No — Miniso's most recently filed FDD (2023) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
Is Miniso a good franchise to buy?
