## Story

Questions like these are what continually fuel many franchisees. At some point, we've all dreamed of owning our own business, maybe even a family operated one; but it takes a unique mixture of adventurous spirit, intuition, and business acumen to reach your goals. All attributes that are demonstrated by the Perez family, who prove that working together as a family can pave the road to success.

After Hurricane Andrew devastated their home in Southern Florida in 1992, Jose and Regina Perez made the decision to move to Portland, Oregon. Jose found himself in need of replacing batteries in his camcorder, cellular phone, and cordless telephone, and that search led him to Batteries Plus. Recognizing the benefit of serving the needs of so many customers, this discovery helped him realize his dream of owning his own business. He opened his first Batteries Plus store with his wife and two sons, Miguel and Tony, in 1994.

Faced with all of the joys and challenges that come with running a business and doing it with your loved ones, they have figured out how to use their strengths and grow to thirteen stores in Oregon and Washington.

There are many advantages of owning and operating a Batteries Plus Bulbs store. We're proud that families choose to go into business together through operating our concept, and excited to watch them succeed. Read the full story about their journey
