Batteries Plus Expands in Rhode Island and Massachusetts

Batteries Plus, the leading battery and power solutions service center in the U.S., has made a notable announcement regarding its expansion in the Northeast. The brand has secured a franchise agreement that will see the opening of three new locations—marking its inaugural entry into Rhode Island and solidifying its presence in Massachusetts.

Exciting New Franchise Agreement

The agreement, signed by the Britland family—Joe, Karen, and Josh—includes plans to establish new Batteries Plus stores in Warwick, Rhode Island, and in Foxborough and Taunton, Massachusetts. The Britlands have been associated with Batteries Plus since late 2023, when they took over the existing store in Seekonk, MA. Their commitment to the brand and the communities they serve is evident and will play a crucial role in their expansion efforts.

Joe Britland expressed excitement over this new venture, highlighting the family’s dedication to providing essential services to the local community. “We are thrilled to be opening new Batteries Plus locations and serving our customers with the expertise and care they deserve,” he stated.

Responding to Local Demand

The decision to expand into these markets is fueled by a growing demand for convenient power solutions. From batteries for vehicles to smartphone repairs, more consumers and businesses are recognizing the importance of reliable power sources. The New England region, known for its discerning customers, has shown a strong preference for the quality service and expertise that Batteries Plus provides.

Victor Daher, Vice President of Global Franchise Development for Batteries Plus, noted, “This region has always been a strong performer for Batteries Plus. The Britland family exemplifies the type of franchise partners we are looking for: hands-on operators who are passionate about their communities.”

A Path from Employee to Owner

Josh Britland’s journey with Batteries Plus began over a decade ago when he joined the Seekonk store as an associate after gaining extensive experience in automotive mechanics. This background proved invaluable, leading him to the store manager position for nearly a decade. His transition to franchise owner alongside his family has been a dream come true.

“Every day is different, and I love helping people, especially with phone repairs,” Josh shared. He added that providing exceptional service and meeting the needs of customers, especially during challenging situations like a malfunctioning phone, is immensely rewarding.

A Family-Centered Business

As they prepare to establish their new stores, the Britland family emphasizes their commitment to creating a business that reflects their values. Josh's brothers, Christopher and Matt, are also set to join the family enterprise, further strengthening their operations. While Josh will oversee daily operations, Joe and Karen will take care of strategies and financial planning. Christopher is gearing up to join the commercial sales team, which is becoming increasingly important as more local organizations seek reliable power solutions.

With the addition of these new locations, Batteries Plus continues to expand its footprint, now operating more than 800 locations across the United States and Puerto Rico. The company remains dedicated to delivering reliable power solutions and exceptional customer service.
