WHAT????? Once again Batteries Plus has been franchising since the early 90's! . Who writes this stuff? Do they use the same speech writers as Obama?

The Interstate All Battery store is being built on the same lot. While the actual retail store will be open later this year, you can still purchase every battery for every need at our 3132 W. Main St. location. We also offer custom assembly to rebuild hard to find batteries or expensive power tool batteries. Give us a call at 380-4866 if you have any questions.

They've been open for years - I believe they sell Interstate car batteries. I'm not getting the big deal on it opening later this year - they're already open. Or at least they were the last time I drove by. I'm wondering with the other posts if this was never meant for anyone to read that actually lives in the area. What is the big deal on this location?

Batteries Plus sadly hasn't had any Nascar teams yet. So if you like advertising a lot, it seems like Interstate is a... no-brainer. You would only want to go with Batteries Plus if you needed a location near you or a battery in stock for the best price. They meant #1 at advertising.
