San Diego, CA–Batteries Plus, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing battery, light bulb, and key fob repair franchise, has announced plans to bring at least 10 new locations to San Diego and its surrounding communities over the next 5 years, as a part of its expansion plans in the region.

In hopes of having these new sites up and running as soon as possible, the company plans to expedite its growth efforts by means of an aggressive strategy that focuses on marketing the consumer-oriented products and services that the needs-based brand supplies. 

Batteries Plus was founded in 1988, growing from a single location in Green Bay, Wisconsin into a nationwide network of more than 700 stores. A network that only continued to expand amid the pandemic once the franchise was determined to be an essential retailer, leading to a record-breaking sales year in 2022. That momentum has continued into 2023, putting the brand in a position to add another 45 franchise locations to the Batteries Plus family by year’s end.

“We’re confident that Batteries Plus will thrive in San Diego and prove to be well-poised for tremendous long-term growth in the area, especially given the growing demand for our industry’s product line in an increasingly battery-powered world,” said Joe Malmuth, Chief Franchising Officer for Batteries Plus. “At Batteries Plus, we are committed to finding the right franchise partners that will serve the community as an invaluable resource with exceptional customer service, expertise, and quality-tested products.”

With the average U.S. household having approximately 28 battery-powered devices and 61 light bulb sockets, coupled with San Diego being a destination for all the best summer adventures – from RVs to boating – there is a high demand for Batteries Plus services and product offerings in the area. In addition to what the brand will bring to the community, it offers franchisees an unwavering and predictable investment opportunity with significant growth potential through commercial, and national accounts, and e-commerce that provides entrepreneurs with a sense of stability for a desirable lifestyle and financial payout. 

“Backed by over 30 years of experience and expertise, we understand the needs of both our franchisees and customers, which has allowed us to be a leader in a relatively narrow niche to provide speed and convenience to our customers, while also assuring franchise prospects a reliable, unique franchise model,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus. “Almost every product on the market today requires batteries, proving Batteries Plus’s services and products are both essential and fundamental to everyday lives.” 

Batteries Plus is actively seeking qualified single-unit and multi-unit franchisees looking for scalable growth opportunities with an extremely stable, predictable, and secure essential franchise brand. While the brand’s core offerings are fundamental to people’s lives and are built on multi-billion-dollar industries (Batteries, $110B; Bulbs, $118.3B, Device Repair, $4B, Key Fobs, $4.82B, Smart Home Technology $28.86M), the pandemic realities shined a brighter light on the value of the Batteries Plus franchise opportunity. 

Batteries Plus has multiple revenue streams to serve every individual and the needs of a variety of sectors including schools, contractors, churches, municipalities, healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality, property managers, and assisted living centers. Batteries Plus has a franchisee-first mentality that is the cornerstone of its world-class franchisee support and proprietary technology advancements built within the model.
