HARTLAND, Wis., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Batteries Plus, the nation's leading battery and power solutions service center, today announced a new partnership with HOTDISH, a franchise-focused marketing agency, to strengthen and evolve its franchise development marketing strategy. The collaboration is designed to enhance brand positioning, improve lead quality, and accelerate growth, particularly among multi-unit operators.

Through the partnership, HOTDISH will work closely with Batteries Plus to evaluate and refine how the brand connects with prospective franchisees across digital channels, advertising, and candidate communications. The initiative will focus on developing a more cohesive and compelling franchise development presence, ensuring consistent messaging and a streamlined experience for candidates throughout the discovery and decision-making process.

"Batteries Plus has built a strong foundation as a dependable, essential-services franchise, and this partnership allows us to take our development efforts to the next level," said Joe Malmuth, Chief Development Officer of Batteries Plus.

"Batteries Plus is an established, high-performing system with strong momentum, and we see a significant opportunity to elevate how that story is told to prospective franchisees. By creating a cohesive, design-forward strategy and aligning messaging across every channel, we can help attract the right candidates and move them through the pipeline with greater clarity and confidence."
