Plus games competition

The inaugural Plus Games, launched in November 2024, were designed to gamify franchisee engagement and drive performance across the Batteries Plus system. Over the course of several months, franchise stores competed in a friendly but fierce contest, with teams evaluated on key metrics such as key fob sales, flashlight sales, and total sales. The competition culminated at PlusCon, where the Final Four stores faced off in a series of challenges that tested their knowledge, teamwork, and sales acumen.

Frank Meier and his Glen Ellyn team emerged victorious, outpacing their peers and demonstrating excellence across all measured categories. Their win is a testament to the power of collaboration, training, and a customer-first mindset. Finishing in second was Richard and Kelli Epps and their store associates in Largo/Spring Hill, Fla.

Sales and unit growth

The Plus Games delivered measurable impact, with top-performing stores seeing a median total sales growth of 5.9-7.4% during the competition period compared to the previous year. The top quartile of stores also achieved a 12.3% median increase in key fob sales, underscoring the effectiveness of the initiative in driving both engagement and results.

As Batteries Plus continues to innovate in franchise operations and customer service, the success of the inaugural Plus Games sets a new standard for engagement and achievement across its network of stores nationwide.

“The energy and focus the Plus Games generated throughout our franchise system was inspiring,” said Jon Sica, Chief Operating Officer for Batteries Plus. “Frank and his team truly exemplify what’s possible when you combine expertise, passion, and a drive to succeed. Their win sets the bar for future competitions and reflects the bright future ahead for our entire network.”
