Save the Batteries, Start a Business, Save the World!

Take a look in your household, count how many battery-operated devices are in your house. Anything that you can put a battery into, don’t count your iPhone.

The average U.S. Household has 21 different battery operated devices. Fire alarms, remote controls, clocks, garage door openers, and children’s toys are just a few of these items. The battery market in North America is a 24 BILLION dollar industry, annually increasing 6-10%.

Have you considered starting a business, and wondered what type of business to start? What about one that can put a CHARGE into saving the environment? We all know that batteries, once done, can either end up being recycled or being put in a landfill.

Battery recycling is also an additional revenue stream for franchisees. A great example is Battery Giant, who recycled over 2 million pounds of batteries in 2012.

Join Battery Giant and FranNet of West Michigan as they go over their franchising and recycling opportunities on September 11, 2013. Registration is required, and light hors d’oeuvres will be served.
