In the first quarter alone, the specialty retailer sold 14 new units to seven new franchise owners, expanding its footprint across Texas, Florida, Minnesota, California, Georgia and Illinois.
Batteries Plus credits its “recession-resistant, essential retail concept” as fuel for the continued store expansion plans.
In 2025, Batteries Plus signed 24 franchise deals totalling 63 new units and opened 30 new locations across 13 states. The retailer also reached a key milestone last year by establishing a retail presence in all 50 US states. It currently has more than 800 locations open and in development.
“This momentum goes beyond development numbers,” said Victor Daher, VP of Franchise Development at Batteries Plus. “We’ve built a business that meets everyday needs, adapts with changing consumer demand and gives franchisees the support they need to grow with confidence.”
In addition to growing its development pipeline, Batteries Plus also recently announced a leadership change. Jon Sica has been promoted from chief operating officer to president, which the company says reflects its focus on “strategic growth with a strong leadership.”
