Batteries Plus Earns Entrepreneur’s Hall of Fame Recognition for Third Consecutive Year

Specialty Battery Franchise Honored for Over Three Decades of Impact Within the Franchise Space

HARTLAND, Wis. (APRIL 7, 2025) – For the third year in a row, Batteries Plus, the world’s leading consumer and business specialty battery franchise, has been recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as a brand worthy of ranking on its Franchise 500 Hall of Fame list. This prestigious list honors those elite franchise brands that have ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 ranking for 25 or more consecutive years.

Batteries Plus has ranked on the Franchise 500 for 31 consecutive years – moving up a total of 40 spots from its ranking last year. This longevity requires a brand to have not only long-term viability and resilience, but the ability to continuously adapt to marketplace changes and demands.

“This recognition is a testament to the strength of our franchise model, our unwavering commitment to innovation, and our dedication to our franchisees,” said Joe Malmuth, Chief Development Officer at Batteries Plus. “This achievement reflects the passion and hard work of our entire network, and we are honored to once again be recognized among the best in franchising.”

Entrepreneur’s ranking formula analyzes brands based on more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The ranking grows more competitive each year and only a select few have managed to rank every year for the last 25 years or more, and thus earn a spot in the 2025 Hall of Fame.

Batteries Plus has become a global leader in supplying the battery needs of its customers for cars, boats, phones, key fobs and more. With over 800 store locations in operation and development nationwide, Batteries Plus has also carved out a unique niche in the industry with its ‘plus’ services – including cell phone repair and key fob replacement. Positioned for the battery-powered future, Batteries Plus was also ranked on Franchise Times Top 400 list, coming in at #130.
