HARTLAND, Wis., (MARCH 10, 2026) – Batteries Plus, the nation’s leading battery and power solutions service center, has once again been recognized by Entrepreneur as a brand worthy of ranking on its Franchise 500 Hall of Fame list. The prestigious list honors elite franchise brands that have ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 for 25 or more consecutive years. This marks the fourth consecutive year Batteries Plus has been recognized on the Hall of Fame list.

Consistently Making the List

Batteries Plus has now made the Franchise 500 list for 32 years in a row, most recently ranking at #281, underscoring the brand’s long-term strength, resilience, and ability to evolve alongside shifting consumer needs and market demands.

“This recognition reflects the power of our franchise system and the consistent value our owners deliver in markets across the country,” said Joe Malmuth, Chief Development Officer of Batteries Plus. “For more than three decades, Batteries Plus has continued to adapt to the needs of both consumer and commercial customers, and that staying power speaks to the strength of our model, our support structure, and our franchisees’ commitment to serving their communities.”
