Starbucks has definitely no minimum separation rules. In large cities in America I've seen blocks with more than four starbucks in total, that is to say, more than one outlet per side, and single stretch of street with three Starbucks: two in one side, one in the other.
Neither McDonalds nor Timmy's make any promises about exclusive territories, though in practice they do tend to space their franchises out a bit more.
