The franchise agreement specifies that your store will open in 9 months from the time you sign it. That said, the typical timeline is more like 7-9 months. The primary variable is real-estate availability in your chosen territory.

While Batteries Plus stores thrive today in a wide variety of markets, there are a few key attributes we look for, including residential population and local business density. As a consumer-oriented retail store, we prefer to be located in markets with destination-driven retail shopping areas typically populated with ‘big box’ stores. Freestanding buildings, strip centers, or dual-usage buildings of at least 1500-1800 square feet located in these high-traffic areas are ideal locations for our storefronts.
Our Franchise Development team will review your areas of interest and provide an assessment of the market opportunity.
