Definition
加盟店 is a noun meaning 'franchise store' or 'affiliated shop' — a business that operates under a larger brand's license (like a KFC or Starbucks outlet). The word is a compound of 加盟 ('to join a franchise') and 店 ('store'). In Chinese business contexts, it contrasts with 直营店 ('company-owned store'). You'll encounter it in shopping, business news, and discussions about brand expansion.
