7 Openings, 7 States

In the First Quarter, Batteries Plus Bulbs has opened seven new locations in seven states:

• Shrewsbury, PA – This is the fourth store for Batteries Plus Bulbs franchise owner Dustin Myers. Dustin joined the company at the age of 24 as a partner with his father. Now, 15 years later, Dustin has grown independently and become one of the company's most successful franchisees.
• Hamilton Township, NJ – Ed and Sue McAvoy opened their first Batteries Plus Bulbs in Turnersville, NJ in 2016. Ed was previously CEO for a private equity firm but eventually wanted to move beyond a corporate environment. Eager to expand, the couple is thrilled to have this second location.
• Riverton, UT – New franchisee Rusty Isakson is an Air Force Veteran and retired member of the police force and Attorney General's office. He and his wife are excited to finally move forward with their lifelong dream of owning their own business.

• Cypress, TX – After living in Cypress for more than 11 years, mother-son franchise owner duo Jas Kahlon and Gary Sandhu saw how much the city grew over the last decade, and wanted to continue the momentum by opening the town's first Batteries Plus Bulbs store.
• Springfield, MA – This is a new corporate store and the first in the area. Batteries Plus Bulbs currently has 62 corporate stores. By operating these locations, we're able to put our support and systems to the test, continually fine-tune and improve our business model, and pass along those benefits to franchisees.
