Batteries Plus is a recession-resistant, needs-based business built on both strong retail sales and powerful B2B opportunities. While customers rely on us for batteries, light bulbs, device repair, and key cutting—all under one roof—the real growth potential lies in becoming the go-to battery and power solutions vendor for businesses throughout your community.
Jump Start Your Future
Franchisees serve hospitals, schools, restaurants, car dealerships, fire and security companies, construction firms, property managers, government agencies and much more—many of which have ongoing, repeat power needs and limited vendor competition. With access to multiple essential product categories and recurring commercial accounts, owners benefit from diversified revenue streams and significant untapped B2B potential, all backed by a brand with over 30 years of proven success.
Batteries Plus is a retail and commercial battery franchise with high-demand service revenue streams that drive additional profitability. Founded in 1988 and franchising since 1992, we’ve grown from a single store in Green Bay, Wisconsin to more than 700 locations nationwide. While the brand began as a retail-focused battery concept, it has strategically evolved into a commercial-first business with a strong retail component. Today, franchisees serve both everyday consumers and a rapidly expanding base of B2B clients who rely on ongoing battery supply and power solutions.
Our growth has been fueled by increasing demand for specialty and replacement batteries, along with value-added services such as phone and tablet repair and key cutting and programming. With decades of brand recognition and a proven operating model, Batteries Plus has continuously adapted to meet market needs—positioning franchisees to capitalize on recurring commercial accounts while maintaining steady retail traffic.
WHY CHOOSE BATTERIES PLUS
Power is not optional—and neither is the need for reliable battery solutions. From households filled with battery-powered devices to businesses that depend on uninterrupted operations, demand is constant and recurring.

With most online orders picked up in-store, immediacy drives customer behavior and gives franchisees a strong competitive edge.
