Powering Up: Batteries Plus Announces Plans to Expand in Huntsville

Huntsville, AL — Huntsville is next in line for a power surge.

Batteries Plus, the nation’s largest franchise focused on the $24 billion battery category, announced today that it has signed a deal for a new franchise location to serve the local battery needs of consumers and businesses.

Batteries Plus has developed a stronghold in communities nationwide with a distinctive niche that offers a comprehensive selection of batteries, battery-related products and technical support. The new Huntsville location will provide the equipment and expertise on-site to assemble, test, condition and design custom battery packs for rechargeable household and business products.

Products include literally thousands of batteries for thousands of items, ranging from common items such as watches, cameras and cell phones to replacement batteries for iRobot® Roomba vacuums, solar landscape lights, talking books for children and keyless entry door locks at major hotels.

Franchise owners Sonia Lee and Lisa Pensworth, along with their husbands Alan Lee and Bill Pensworth, chose to open a Batteries Plus based on its solid performance in the marketplace, as well as the wide range and quality of products and services compared to competitors. This will be Pensworth and Lee group’s third Batteries Plus location. The other locations are in Florence and Huntsville, AL.

“When we sought to open our own business, we looked for a franchise with strong store economics and staying power in today’s world,” said Bill Pensworth. “In an age of increased portability and technology, our society is dependent on batteries. We foresee our Huntsville Batteries Plus store fulfilling a consistent demand.”
