• Nation’s leading battery services franchise highlights critical role in keeping infrastructure, institutions, and service providers running
• With locations coast-to-coast, Batteries Plus offers local battery solutions and services to essential businesses across the country
• Battery service center builds economic resilience with dwindling reliance on China’s resources

HARTLAND, Wis. (AUGUST 6, 2025) – With more than 730 multi-unit service centers operating across 49 states, Batteries Plus plays a critical role in keeping America’s infrastructure and service sectors running. From powering public transit systems and emergency vehicle fleets to supporting national service contractors and municipal facilities, Batteries Plus delivers on-the-ground solutions where timing and reliability are critical.

One-Stop-Shop for Essential Businesses

As industries increasingly require local, reliable, and responsive support to avoid costly downtime, Batteries Plus provides an accessible network of service centers offering a neighborhood touch to power hospitals, police stations, schools, and even mom-and-pop restaurants, just to name a few. Each one of the 730+ franchise location is embedded in its local community and pairs a deep inventory with expert installations, sourcing, diagnostics, repair, and recycling, all in one stop.

“We’re not a traditional retailer; we’re a service infrastructure,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus. “Our stores are built to solve problems fast for people who can’t afford to wait. That includes small business owners, public institutions, school systems, and transportation providers. We show up where others can’t.”

Service Focused with a National Scale

Batteries Plus supplies the operational backbone for industries where disruption isn’t an option. These include commercial fleet batteries, lighting retrofits, fire panel backups, security systems, and small device repairs.

A third of the brand’s revenue is now from B2B clients, with even more significant growth on the horizon. With partnerships in place with the New York Transit Authority, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, countless higher educational institutions and universities, among others, the company’s service upside continues to grow.

Batteries Plus supports a wide range of sectors, including:

• HVAC, electrical, and service contractors sourcing essential parts enroute to job sites
• Universities and school districts maintaining access control, fire safety systems, and student tech
• Municipal and fleet operators requiring rapid turnaround for large-format vehicle batteries
• Healthcare and emergency services with strict uptime and reliability needs

“Service industries don’t pause, and neither do we,” said Jon Sica, Chief Operating Officer for Batteries Plus. “We built our footprint to serve the people who keep America working.”

Engineered for Resilience and Long-Term Growth

In an economic landscape where the traditional retail industry faces headwinds, Batteries Plus has continued to expand its product availability with a domestic supply chain of sourced batteries and recycled critical materials. The company has proactively reduced its sourcing from China from 32% down to just 4%, helping franchisees avoid supply chain instability and tariffs that continue to challenge the country.

As more consumers and businesses seek to repair-over-replace solutions in the wake of the current economic landscape, the brand has leaned into its strength in diagnostics and value: from key fobs and phone repairs to high-end commercial tech.

“Our franchisees don’t sell trends; they’re solving operational problems on a day-to-day basis,” said Joe Malmuth, Chief Development Officer for Batteries Plus. “That’s why more and more service providers, procurement teams, and institutions are turning to us as their go-to resource: we’re local and we solve problems both big and small.”

Built for Businesses, Powered by People

With more than 250 local franchise owners and B2B power experts across the nation, Batteries Plus continues to increase its presence in commercial and institutional sectors, underscoring that its business model is built for not just now, but for the long term.

“Our people are what power us,” added Williams. “Each day, our franchisees and team members have the hardest job in retail, because they’re experts in all things battery-related, whether it’s identifying the solution to power a decades-old watch or finding the proper batteries for an entire fleet of forklifts. We’ll continue to bring our expertise and services to all 50 states and beyond because of our people and their reliability.”
