Batteries Plus announced that it has promoted Jon Sica from chief operating officer to the position of president.
Sica joined Batteries Plus in 2019 and has held leadership roles across B2B sales, franchise development, operations, marketing, technology, and other key areas. Under Sica’s direction, Batteries Plus relaunched as “The Experts in Charge”, emphasizing repair services, tailored B2B solutions, and technology-driven support.
Based in Hartland, Wisconsin, and owned by Freeman Spogli, Batteries Plus provides commercial and residential power solutions – including batteries, lighting, and repair services. The brand has a national network of over 800 locations open and in development. Additionally, Batteries Plus said that it is hitting about 60 new franchisee signings annually.
In his new role as president, Sica will spearhead the company’s AI transformation, focusing on driving greater B2B sales productivity and four-wall profitability across its nationwide network of stores, the company said.
“Jon’s strategic vision and operational excellence have been critical to our transformation,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus. “We continue to see record-breaking results in our commercial/B2B sales growth, and we’re welcoming over 60 new franchise signings annually from owners who want to join our Batteries Plus family. His ability to connect innovation with execution has made Batteries Plus a leader in both the B2B and repair sectors. Promoting Jon to President ensures we’ll continue to accelerate our success and strengthen our position in the evolving energy and technology landscape.”
According to Batteries Plus, Sica is a strong advocate for the franchising industry and the domestic energy supply chain. This includes ongoing engagement with policymakers on Capitol Hill along with a commitment to advancing both U.S. critical mineral priorities and the mission of the International Franchise Association (IFA).
“This company’s success has always come from empowering experts: whether they are our franchisees, our team, or our customers,” said Sica. “As we look to 2026 and beyond, our focus on AI, services, and B2B partnerships will unlock even more potential. I’m honored to lead our incredible organization through this next phase of innovation and growth.”
