What right does Batteries Plus Bulbs grant to qualified persons?

According to the 2025 Batteries Plus Bulbs Franchise Disclosure Document, qualified persons are granted specific rights related to establishing and operating a Batteries Plus Bulbs store. Specifically, Batteries Plus Bulbs grants qualified individuals the right to develop, own, and operate a Batteries Plus Bulbs store at a specific location. This encompasses the right to use the Batteries Plus Bulbs system, which involves selling batteries, light bulbs, and related items, along with offering device repair, key fob repair and replacement, and related services to retail and commercial consumers.

This grant of rights is subject to certain provisions and conditions outlined in the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee is authorized to operate the store at a site approved by Batteries Plus Bulbs and to use the Licensed Marks in operating the store. The specific location of the store and the franchisee's protected area are typically identified in an exhibit to the agreement. This protected area ensures that, while the franchisee is in compliance with the agreement, Batteries Plus Bulbs will not directly operate or franchise another full-service Batteries Plus Bulbs store within that protected area.

It's important to note that the rights granted are personal and specific to the approved store location. The franchisee does not have the right to subfranchise or sublicense these rights. Furthermore, the franchisee is restricted from using the store for any purposes other than operating a Batteries Plus Bulbs store. These stipulations ensure that the franchisee adheres to the Batteries Plus Bulbs system and maintains the brand's standards and reputation within the defined scope of the agreement.
