Batteries Plus has pivoted and met the customer where they are in order to continue to provide an invaluable service to communities in need. I was a volunteer firefighter for a long time, and I know the importance of having those live-saving tools charged and ready to go.”&nbsp;Prior to joining Batteries Plus, Malmuth most recently served as Vice President of Franchise Relations at My Eyelab, the fastest-growing optical retail franchise in the country. Malmuth’s responsibilities included strategic development of lead generation, franchise development, content development, branding, strategic positioning, FDD curation, Operations Manual curation, training program development and budgeting.

Some franchise candidates tend to overlook culture, but a franchisor’s culture is what produces results. Batteries Plus has seen continued success and economic growth through a winning culture, proven support infrastructure and mission to keep the brand moving in the right direction — I’m proud to join the team.”&nbsp;
