Since 1985, so that's 30 years as of 2015. Wow, no wonder I have grey hair...
What is your primary product or service?

How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My dad and I started this business in 1985 because everyone needs batteries from time to time. It's the perfect blend of business for us: we have commercial, retail-consumer, reseller (wholesale), municipal, and armed forces customers from all over the U.S. And Canada.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our people! We hire bright, motivated folks who have friendly dispositions. Next, we train them and keep on training them so they are knowledgable in all types of batteries and charging. Batteries are changing a lot! Finally, we sell really good lines (manufacturer brands) and a really wide variety of products for those lines. "Good people selling reliable batteries for everything" is our mantra!
