Powering Up: Batteries Plus Announces Plans to Expand in Bolingbrook

Bolingbrook, IL - Bolingbrook 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 current franchisee Mark Jensen has signed on to add an additional franchise location to serve the Bolingbrook community for 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 Bolingbrook 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.

Franchisee Mark Jensen said he chose to open another Batteries Plus based on its solid performance in the marketplace despite the slowing economy, the projected growth of the $24 billion dollar battery category, as well as the wide range and quality of products and services Batteries Plus offers compared to its competitors. This will be Jensen's third Batteries Plus location. Their other locations two locations are in Tinley Park and Homewood, IL.

"When I first sought to open my own business, I looked for a franchise with strong store economics and staying power in today's world," said Jensen. "In an age of increased portability and technology, our society is becoming increasingly dependent on batteries. My Bolingbrook Batteries Plus store will be fulfilling a consistent and growing demand."

Ranked the No. 1 battery franchise and No. 59 overall in Dun & Bradstreet's AllBusiness AllStars rankings of the nation's top 300 franchise companies and among the list of Inc 5000's fastest growing companies Batteries Plus has positioned itself among the most attractive franchise concepts on the market for potential investors looking to run a successful business in their community.

"We look forward to meeting the ongoing battery needs of the Bolingbrook community, from the consumer seeking simple batteries for common items or automotive needs, to the business owner or large group needing ongoing, more complex battery services," Jensen said.
