What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Batteries Plus Bulbs FDD, a franchisee must pay an Omni-Channel access renewal fee to renew their franchise agreement. The specific amount of this fee is not disclosed in Item 17.
To renew a Batteries Plus Bulbs franchise agreement, franchisees must fulfill several requirements. These include providing advance notice of renewal, complying with the current franchise agreement, ensuring that both the franchisee and their store manager satisfactorily complete any new or refresher training programs, and meeting the franchisor's current managerial, financial, and business standards. Franchisees must also sign a new agreement, which may contain materially different terms and conditions than the original franchise agreement, complete any required remodeling, pay a renewal fee, and sign a general release of claims.
Because the exact amount of the Omni-Channel access renewal fee is not specified in this section of the FDD, prospective franchisees should inquire directly with Batteries Plus Bulbs about the current fee amount and how it is calculated. Understanding this cost is crucial for financial planning and assessing the overall profitability of renewing the franchise agreement.
