Tollefson co-owns six of the brand’s stores in the state and will now add three more in the Sacramento area. The brand was deemed an essential busines during the Covid-19 pandemic and many franchisees have been busier than ever. “Thankfully, we were deemed essential to keep serving the community and avoid furloughs. In fact, I was able to hire in May as business picked up and months of steady sales continued,” said Tollefson. “After seeing the real-time impact the stores have had throughout the pandemic and in the neighborhoods effected by the fires, the urgency was clear. I knew it was time to explore expansion as California is in need of a reliable retailer, which can help with battery backups, generators, and powering up homes and businesses.” Batteries Plus is headquartered in Hartland, Wisconsin and has been operating for more than three decades. - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
