Batteries Plus, the nation's leading battery and power solutions service center, has signed a new franchise agreement with a Texas-based team of experienced operators to open five new stores across Houston and Dallas. The partners—Brad Rodman, Ryan Galvez, and Troy Kyle—plan to open three stores in the Houston area and two in the Northeast Dallas area, building on the brand's existing 29 locations in Texas.
The partnership brings together three entrepreneurs with diverse backgrounds in franchise and business ownership. Galvez previously oversaw nine optical franchise locations and worked as a project manager in chemical engineering. Rodman is a veteran multi-unit owner with experience in optical, food, and restaurant franchises, including Nothing Bundt Cakes and Blaze Pizza. Kyle has spent two decades leading outside sales and operating multiple companies in Texas. Galvez first built businesses in healthcare compliance before connecting with Rodman through their work expanding an optical franchise brand.
“Our backgrounds in franchising and operational leadership have taught us that success depends on teamwork, versatility, and a willingness to handle both strategy and hands-on work,” said Galvez. “We get stuff done, and Batteries Plus gives us the support and flexibility to master every part of the business. Batteries Plus is built for long-term growth, and our goal is to maximize the potential of each location we open.”
Each new location will employ four to six team members, generating over 30 new jobs across the two markets, including back office and commercial representatives. Beyond powering Texas businesses, the stores will provide residents with a local hub for device repairs, key fob replacements, lighting upgrades, and customized energy solutions, all backed by Batteries Plus's industry expertise and nationwide network.
With deep ties to Houston and extensive experience in Dallas, the new owners plan to bring Batteries Plus's reputation for reliability to essential businesses and residents. The partners see untapped potential in commercial sales for Batteries Plus across Texas, citing the brand's commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and providing critical infrastructure products and services.
Batteries Plus is actively expanding its presence in commercial, municipal, healthcare, and institutional sectors. These new locations will help power Texas fleets, hospitals, first responders, schools, and data centers that depend on mission-critical energy infrastructure. The stores will feature expanded commercial services vital for Texas industries requiring rapid, reliable power solutions.
“With these three talented operators joining our system, we are reinforcing our ability to serve essential businesses and communities where reliability is non-negotiable,” said Joe Malmuth, Chief Development Officer for Batteries Plus. “Their entrepreneurial spirit, franchise experience, and connection to key markets across Texas make them the ideal partners as we accelerate commercial sales and local service.”
With more than 250 local franchise owners and B2B power experts nationwide, Batteries Plus's business model is built for long-term growth, matching the increasing demand for power solutions in commercial and institutional sectors.
