What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Batteries Plus Bulbs Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit a complete site submittal cover page to Batteries Plus Bulbs for a proposed store site. This cover page should include information that Batteries Plus Bulbs may reasonably require.
The document outlines general site and evaluation criteria that the franchisee should consider. These include demographic characteristics of the proposed location, traffic patterns, parking availability, the predominant character of the neighborhood, and proximity to other businesses, including other Batteries Plus Bulbs stores. The franchisee should also consider other commercial characteristics, the proposed location, the size of the premises, its appearance, and other physical characteristics.
Batteries Plus Bulbs will then notify the franchisee in writing within 30 days after receiving the complete site report and other requested materials whether the proposed site satisfies their site selection criteria. However, the FDD emphasizes that Batteries Plus Bulbs' review of a site does not represent any recommendation or guarantee as to the success of the proposed site. The franchisee remains solely responsible for locating and obtaining a site that meets Batteries Plus Bulbs' standards and criteria and is acceptable to them.
