A Steadfast Retailer

All locations provide needs-based products and services to their communities. Batteries wear out, and many specialty types can be hard to find. Conventional bulbs can be replaced with more energy-efficient lighting. Phone repair and key cutting and fob programming are value-added services that help make customers' lives easier. Batteries Plus Bulbs remains a growing business in an evolving retail landscape, in part due to its vast selection, immediacy, and expertise. Customers continue to turn to the retailer to solve their problems and purchase essential products and services. No other retailer offers batteries, bulbs, phone repair, and key fob programming all in one place. Franchise owners can also earn revenue from commercial accounts, including municipalities, schools, and more.
