Nation’s Leading Specialty Battery Retailer Arms Louisiana Owners with Supplies to Power Local Communities Before, During, and After Storm

HARTLAND, Wis., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the Louisiana coast braces for extreme rainfall, flooding, storm surges and damaging winds that will accompany the landfall of Category Two hurricane Francine, Batteries Plus, the nation’s leading specialty battery retailer, is stepping up to support its owners and residents in the storm’s path.

As part of the company’s commitment to ensuring local resilience in the face of natural disasters, Batteries Plus is providing a steady supply of batteries, generators, chargers, and lighting solutions to help residents stay powered before, during, and after the storm. By arming store owners with critical inventory, Batteries Plus aims to keep Louisiana communities safe and connected in the face of potential power outages and storm-related challenges.

“At Batteries Plus, our top priority is ensuring that our store owners are fully equipped to support their communities, especially during critical times like this,” said Jon Sica, Chief Operating Officer of Batteries Plus. “By providing essential power supplies ahead of the storm, we’re helping local businesses keep residents powered, safe, and connected before, during, and after the weather event. We’re committed to making sure our owners can meet the needs of their communities when it matters most.”

Known as its Hurricane Preparedness Program, Batteries Plus offers its owners access to pre-ordered products which have been cultivated purposefully to supply stores with merchandise that customers will need in times of power insecurity. Shipments go out to all local stores that could potentially see hurricane activity and provide additional inventory ahead of the rest of the season. Batteries Plus is providing supplies for pre-storm orders as well as post-event necessities to help local communities recover from any severe weather event. As America’s emergency preparedness headquarters, Batteries Plus is committed to ensuring that safety isn’t in short supply.

In addition to making sure its stores are adequately prepared to serve local communities, the brand launched its consumer-centric Emergency Preparedness campaign earlier this year. The initiative aims to educate consumers on ways to protect their homes and families in the event of an emergency. By urging consumers to Pledge, Prepare, and Power Up, Batteries Plus is helping Americans prioritize emergency preparedness while giving them a chance to win a 300W X2Power Portable Power Station.  

With over 700 store locations in operation nationwide, Batteries Plus has maximized its national presence by providing the local touch within each of the communities the brand serves. Batteries Plus offers businesses an unparalleled selection of over 25,000 different types of batteries, 15,000 lighting products, and expert guidance to ensure all energy needs are exceeded.
