Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Batteries Plus's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 20% of retail other franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (58 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against retail other brands that do disclose one.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a Batteries Plus franchise cost?

Batteries Plus' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $89K–$163K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $15,000, and is included in that range.

What royalty does Batteries Plus charge?

Batteries Plus charges a continuing royalty of 5% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 1% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Does Batteries Plus disclose earnings (Item 19)?

No. Batteries Plus makes no financial performance representation in its FDD. Item 19 is the only optional item under the FTC Franchise Rule, so omitting it is lawful and common — but it means the franchisor publishes no revenue or profit figures for its outlets, and any figure quoted elsewhere is not from the filing.

Facts on this page are sourced from Batteries Plus' Franchise Disclosure Document.

Item 6 royalty is 5% of total Net Revenues; national marketing/promotional fee is 1% of Net Revenues (recorded as brand_fund_pct); separately, local advertising requires a minimum $20,000 in the first 120 days then 4%/yr (or $15,000 minimum) - not captured in the single brand_fund_pct field. Tech fee shown ($265/month software support) plus a separate $75/month PCI compliance fee. Item 4: no franchisor bankruptcy; two unrelated affiliate bankruptcies disclosed (Wood Structures Inc. 2008/liquidated 2014; Ace Companies/Ace Mortgage Funding 2008/pending). Item 19: document explicitly states 'The franchisor has not made any financial performance representation,' so item19_provided = false. Item 12 and Item 17 specific figures, and the Item 20 numeric outlet table, were referenced (e.g., 'List of Franchise Stores' in Exhibit D) but not captured in the fetched excerpt and are left null.
