Rayovac is undisputedly recognized as one of 3 mega-brands
in the battery industry with 97% aided awareness. Consumers
associate Rayovac with performance and value, which is a direct
benefit to Batteries Plus. Rayovac is ranked #1 among families
with three or more children and #1 among 25-44 year olds,
beating both Energizer and Duracell. laptop battery
Rayovac has significantly invested in advertising their
brand, recently signing Brett Favre as their spokesperson. In a
2006 Harris Poll which ranked the top 5 Most Popular Athletes,
Brett Favre was the third most recognizable behind Tiger Woods
and Michael Jordan. Batteries Plus will benefit from this
relationship by utilizing Brett Favre s likeness in
promotion of our licensed Rayovac products. thinkpad
As Batteries Plus continues to command an increasing share
of the retail and commercial battery market, partnering with a
proven, established brand such as Rayovac will be key to the
future success of both our company owned and franchise stores
in our rapidly growing system. microsoft

Rechargeable battery upgrades powered by consumer

Batteries that can be recharged rather than tossed when the

Once we reduced our list to 37 franchise brands, we
canvassed those companies with the following variables in
mind: repair
* Franchises net income/shareholders equity
ratio * Projected additional franchise units for 2005 *
Franchise unit cancellations * Top executives experience
at the company data recovery
We looked at their net income (profit) and shareholders
equity (assets minus liabilities) forfiscal 2004 to try to
ensure that franchises on our list were financially sound. The
capital base of franchises in our final 25, as measured
byshareholders equity, was at least $950, 000 for fiscal
2004. All franchises in our final group exceeded a 25%
return-on-equity ratio (netincome divided by shareholders
equity) average over the past three years and in 2004. It s
also worth noting that our 25 franchises had positivenet income
over the prior three years. We also looked to see whether the
franchise was in a growth mode. We included only systems in the
final analysis that were projecting nine or more units for
2005. In trimming our list, we also took a closer look at
turnover, specifically at cancelled units, or units that were
closed. All 25 companies on our listhad a cancelled unit rate
of less than 3% in 2004. cisco
We wanted the systems on our list to have top executives
with significant experience at the company. All the franchises
on our list had topexecutives with at least six years of
experience at the company. keyboard
Looking over our list as it stood, we eliminated two more
franchises. One we dropped because it was extending its
franchise only in rural markets and through existing businesses
under a cobranding arrangement. Another franchise with more
than 700 units had a net growth in units of only 20 in the past
five years; we thought readers would want to see franchises
with more active expansion plans. monitor
Thus, we came up with our list of 25. Is each one right for
every prospective franchisee Certainly not. Minimum investment
alone is a differentiating factor. Start-up costs can range
from a few thousand dollars in the case of, say,
CruisePlanners, to more than a million dollars in the case of
Pizzeria Uno. (These figures exclude real estate purchase
costs.) desktop
This list, and our look-up tool for it, should serveas a
starting point. StartupJournal will be doing an ongoing series
of franchising articles throughout the year to provide our
readers with information that will help them make the best
investment for them and then make the best of their investment.

please email them to sjeditor@dowjones.com. We look forward to

Batteries for consumer electronics has been rapidly
growing, Reynolds said. We want to make
Batteries Plus a top-of-the-mind destination for those
products. Jason Gere, a securities analyst for AG Edwards who
covers Spectrum Brands Corp., the Atlanta-based parent company
of Rayovac, said sales of traditional alkaline batteries have
remained flat industrywide during the last couple years. computer hardware
He said Rayovac, which is the No. 3 battery supplier in the
nation behind Energizer and Duracell, is trying to find ways to
grow its batteries business outside of alkaline. The
market share is shrinking so they are looking for new
opportunities to grow the business, Gere said.
According to a news release, the Rayovac-branded products will
include batteries to power products from 16 different
categories including cell phones, camcorders, cordless tools,
cordless phones, PDAs, MP3 players, two-way radios and laptop
computers. printers
By partnering with Batteries Plus, we can more
effectively tackle the enormous opportunities available in the
$22 billion battery market, said Sean Martin, vice
president of Rayovac, in a prepared statement. technology

New Lenox man opens Batteries Plus store in Tinley
Park
By Mike Nolan, staff writer
Thursday, August 24, 2006 The average household has 18
battery-operated devices. It s a statistic that gives Mark
Jensen a charge. mainframe
When you run out of juice, the 41-year-old New Lenox
resident hopes you ll think of his new store, Batteries
Plus which he touts as a one-stop shop for battery
needs. From batteries for something as small as a cell phone or
iPod, to a car or truck battery, Jensen will sell you one and
install it. He also can drop a new battery in your vehicle in
the parking lot outside the store, 16205 S. Harlem Ave. in
Tinley Park. samsung
Based in a Milwaukee suburb, Batteries Plus has 264 stores
operated by franchisees such as Jensen, who previously co-owned
a graphics company. Before Jensen s store opened about a
week ago, the only other Southland location for Batteries Plus
was in Oak Lawn. computer repair
Earlier this year, he bought the franchise rights to an area
that takes in a large swath of the south and southwest suburbs.
Plans call for additional stores in Calumet City, Joliet and
New Lenox. The Oak Lawn store is outside of the territory
Jensen acquired development rights to. As consumer electronics
have plunged in cost, they ve become more and more
disposable, Jensen said. People tend to throw the whole
device out and replace it, even though it may just be the
battery that needs replacing, Jensen said. used computers
Batteries Plus stores carry the company s own battery
brands Nuon (for most consumer electronics), Werker
(cars, trucks and cordless power tools) and Xtreme
(motorcycles, ATVs). Stores also stock brands such as Duracell
and Energizer. network
There are racks of garden variety AAs and D batteries, along
with more exotic and hard-to-find rechargeable batteries.
Getting a new battery for a device can be a hassle,
Jensen said. You can spend nearly a day driving
around looking for one. While the batteries in many
modern electronic devices are rechargeable, those batteries
still have a finite life. Over time, the batteries no longer
will hold a charge and need to be replaced. digital cameras
Some owners of Apple s wildly popular iPod are
discovering that getting a new battery for their music player
is expensive. iPods have been in the market long enough
that the batteries are getting close to the end of their
lifespan, Jensen said. Apple, he said, charges $75 for a
replacement, and iPod owners have to ship the players to the
company. Jensen said he charges $30 for the battery, and
between $20 and $30 for installation. desktops
Batteries Plus also carries batteries for laptop computers,
but Jensen said he hasn t seen a surge in business related
to a recent recall of Dell-branded batteries containing cells
manufactured by Sony. Dell issued the recall because of a
problem with battery packs overheating, and in rare cases
catching on fire. cognos
The recall involves 4 million battery packs, and Jensen said
it s possible some Dell computer owners might opt to buy
new batteries, particularly if there is a long delay in getting
new ones from Dell. hosting
Along with selling batteries to consumers, Jensen s
store does business with local companies and municipalities.
Jensen began selling to commercial clients, including school
districts and local fire and police departments, three months
before opening the Tinley Park store. Commercial products are
shipped from a warehouse in New Lenox. The Orland Fire
Protection District buys batteries from Jensen for use in
things such as two-way radios and flashlights. The police and
fire departments in Frankfort turned to Battery Plus for new
batteries to power portable defibrillators, he said. netfinity
The store stocks batteries for hand-held UPC scanners, and
Jensen said he s selling those to the many
warehouse-distribution centers that have cropped up along
Interstate 80. Batteries Plus also carries battery- and
power-related items, such as flashlights and charging stations.
The store also can custom-build battery packs. We have
had people come in with items that have batteries that are no
longer manufactured, Jensen said. internet
Jensen studied electrical and computer engineering at the
University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1987, then worked for
Boeing for five years. He became familiar with Batteries Plus
while he was part-owner of a company that produced in-store
signs for Batteries Plus, as well as graphics for battery
packaging. Jensen sold his interest in the business, OEC
Graphics, to his partner. I thought there was a great
need for a store like this, Jensen said. There was
an opportunity to fill a void in the marketplace. cheap computer
