By providing essential products that customers will always want to have on hand and by offering franchisee support and communication during the coronavirus pandemic, Batteries Plus ensures that it remains a profitable opportunity for franchisees.&nbsp;“Throughout COVID-19, Batteries Plus has done a world-class job in providing ongoing support, resources and assistance in every way,” said Malmuth. “In a post COVID-19 world, business is going to change, and candidates are going to look for the brands that have shown the ability to not just survive tough times, but thrive. 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. He led advancements across many areas and reconstructed the entire franchise network with an emphasis on growth, creating and implementing franchise development strategies that increased the number of executed franchise agreements by 186% and the number of operating units by 125%.Before My Eyelab, Malmuth worked for six years at United Franchise Group, which consists of a number of award-winning business-to-business brands and franchise development services, including some of the world’s largest industry-leading names.

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;
