How will Batteries Plus Bulbs notify franchisees if they revoke approval of a supplier?

According to the 2025 Batteries Plus Bulbs Franchise Disclosure Document, Batteries Plus Bulbs will notify franchisees in writing if they decide to revoke approval of a supplier. After receiving such notification, franchisees have 30 days to discontinue offering, selling, or using products or services from the revoked supplier in their store.

By requiring franchisees to stop using a revoked supplier within 30 days, Batteries Plus Bulbs can quickly address any issues with the supplier's products or services that may negatively impact the brand's reputation or customer experience. This also allows Batteries Plus Bulbs to maintain control over its supply chain and ensure that franchisees are only using approved and reliable suppliers.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they must stay informed of any supplier changes communicated by Batteries Plus Bulbs and be prepared to switch suppliers promptly. Failing to comply with this requirement could result in a breach of the franchise agreement. It is important for franchisees to maintain open communication with Batteries Plus Bulbs and to carefully review any notices regarding supplier approvals and revocations to ensure compliance and avoid potential disruptions to their business operations.
