The state (CA) minimum wage is currently only $10.50 an hour ($11.00 on Jan. 1) for locations with 25 or fewer employees, and $11.00 ($12.00 on Jan. 1) for locations with 26 or more employees. If you are referring to a municipal minimum wage that would overrule the state wage, we cannot answer, since we do not know what municipality you are talking about.A company-owned store is not a franchise and is considered part of the large entity/organization, for purposes of the state wage, it would fall into the 26 or more employee category.
