Batteries Plus is making its debut in Hawaii with a multi-unit franchise agreement. Local entrepreneur Pierre Parranto has signed on to open four stores across Hawaii’s four largest islands, starting with a location in Honolulu on Oahu.
Parranto, a seasoned business leader with deep roots in Hawaii’s entrepreneurial community, sees Batteries Plus as a vital addition to the state’s retail and commercial landscape. With a background in launching and operating businesses across multiple industries, including medical supply and retail, Parranto recognized the demand for reliable battery and power solutions across Hawaii, particularly in commercial sectors like healthcare, hospitality, and marine services.
“As a business owner, I was a customer in need and I was searching for a battery supplier when I came across Batteries Plus,” said Parranto. “The franchise stood out; it offers a strong support system and fills a critical need in Hawaii. Businesses and residents require reliable power solutions, and I’m excited to introduce a brand that provides both quality products and top-tier service.”
Beyond retail, Parranto aims to leverage Batteries Plus’ extensive commercial offerings to support industries across the islands, including local boat captains, restaurants, and car rental businesses. He also plans to focus on team development, emphasizing a workplace culture that fosters employee growth and long-term retention.
“I care deeply about my team and my community,” added Parranto. “With Batteries Plus, I’m excited to build a strong network of expertise that not only provides the essentials but also creates jobs and brings a local business touch to Hawaii’s close-knit communities.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Pierre to our franchise family,” said Victor Daher, Vice President of Global Franchise Development at Batteries Plus. “His entrepreneurial background, deep understanding of the local business landscape, and commitment to community make him an excellent fit for our brand. Partnerships like this strengthen our ability to provide power expertise while reinforcing our reputation.”
