Can Batteries Plus Bulbs estimate the current cost for a refurbishing project?
Batteries_Plus_Bulbs Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We cannot estimate the current cost for a refurbishing project because the refurbishing requirements will vary from Store to Store.
You may make these payments in whole or in part to various third parties.
If you relocate your Store, you will incur certain build-out or remodeling expenses at the new Store premises in addition to paying us the Store Relocation Fee.
