Batteries Plus has recognized its top-performing franchisees.
The move was made during its recent and inaugural franchise convention, PlusCon. Honorees were named for achievements in business, community engagement, and their overall positive impact on the Batteries Plus franchise system. The awards were presented during a dinner that celebrated franchise owners.
“The strength of Batteries Plus is reflected in the dedication and leadership of our franchisees,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus. “These award winners are visionary entrepreneurs that exemplify what it means to be part of this brand by not only driving results, but also elevating those around them. We are proud to recognize their accomplishments and even more excited about where they’re headed next.”
Jason Riebel, named the Batteries Plus franchise system’s Most Valuable Player. The award winner is a second generation franchisee who operated eight stores generating “record-breaking number,” according to Batteries Plus. Reibel has since expanded to 11 locations. Batteries Plus said that Riebel’s team delivered the top commercial sales month in the system’s history, surpassing even longtime leaders.
Dominick Loccisano was recognized as the Rookie of the Year after making an impression in his first year with 75% of his revenue driven by commercial clients. Batteries Plus said Loccisano’s commitment to the brand’s best practices, from frequent field sales training to hands-on customer experience, “has made his store a model of entrepreneurial success.”
Loccisano is planning to open a second store with commercial sales expected to double this year.
Dustin Myers has been recognized with the Distinguished Career Award following a decade as a top performing franchisee. With over $100 million in cumulative sales over the past nine years, Myers is also a member of the brand’s Diamond Sales Club.
Additionally, Myers has consistently been a winner of the top retail and commercial sales (year total) categories systemwide. His contributions span leadership roles on the Batteries Plus Franchise Advisory Council, piloting new programs, and mentoring franchise candidates and fellow franchisees.
“These winners represent everything we value in a franchisee: ambition, innovation, and collaboration,” said Joe Malmuth, chief development officer for Batteries Plus. “We’re proud to celebrate their success.”
