Watsons is a brand of health care and beauty under Li Ka-shing's Watsons Group. It is understood that Watsons Group has three investments in the Mainland, namely Watsons Personal Care Store, Parknshop Supermarket and Watsons Distilled Water.

Watsons will not franchise to speed up the opening of stores. Watsons Personal Care Store and Parknshop Supermarket under the Group all expand their markets in a direct way, because the management of franchise stores is easy to get out of control.

Therefore, Watsons will not accept individuals to join, but only enter a city directly, and has strict requirements on the choice of address, including the area of business premises, people flow and so on.

I hope these are helpful to you!
