Honolulu — Batteries Plus, the nation’s leading specialty battery retailer, is making its debut in Hawaii with a multi-unit franchise agreement. Local entrepreneur Pierre Parranto has signed on to open four stores across Hawaii’s four largest islands, starting with a location in Honolulu on Oahu.
“As a business owner, I was a customer in need and I was actively searching for a dependable battery supplier when I came across Batteries Plus,” says Parranto. “The franchise model immediately stood out; it offers a strong support system and fills a critical need in Hawaii. Businesses and residents require reliable power solutions, and I’m excited to introduce a trusted national brand that provides both quality products and top-tier service.”
Beyond retail, Parranto aims to leverage Batteries Plus’ extensive commercial offerings to support industries across the islands, including local boat captains, restaurants and car rental businesses. He also plans to focus on team development, emphasizing a workplace culture that fosters employee growth and long term retention.
With more than 800 locations in operation and development nationwide, Batteries Plus continues to build momentum, reinforcing its reputation as a recession-resistant and essential business. The company’s entry into Hawaii marks another key milestone as it works toward having locations in all 50 states and beyond this year.
“Expanding into Hawaii is a major milestone for Batteries Plus, and we’re thrilled to welcome Pierre to our franchise family,” says Victor Daher, vice president of global franchise development at Batteries Plus. “As we continue to grow both domestically and internationally, partnerships like this strengthen our ability to provide power expertise while reinforcing our reputation as an industry leader.”
