Description

Pacific Power Batteries is a privately held "C" corporation which started selling batteries in 1985. Originally, we began selling Starting, Lighting and Ignition (SLI) batteries from a subleased room of 12' X 12' at Paine Field near Everett. We ran our sales of batteries from a 1 ton jobber van to logging and construction companies as well as some of the local municipalities and some branches of the military. In 1987, we opened our first leased retail store in Marysville WA. In 1992, we opened our 2nd leased retail store in Everett, WA, 12 miles south of Marysville. In 1995, the Everett store moved into its own purchased location on the corner of 38th and Broadway and built a 6000 square foot retail store, warehouse and office. One year later, the Marysville store moved into its own purchased location on the corner of 8th and Cedar. Marysville's newly built facility included 1800 square feet of retail space complimented by over 14,000 square feet of office space and heated self-storage units in the same complex.The two stores were built as a result of the increased demand for other batteries such as sealed AGM Marine and RV batteries. Later, we added battery inventory for alarm systems, emergency power UPS (uninterrupted power supply) systems, and larger telephone systems. The demand for Alkaline, Ni-Cad, Li-Ion, Li-Polymer continues to expand as people demand more power for their portable electronics. Never wanting to say "no" to any battery demand, the company owners continue to widen the inventory of batteries for consumer electronics, specialty, and alternative energy (solar and wind) products. While our competition focuses on the NASCAR market, our focus is on the quiet, behind the scenes business of portable and back-up power. In 1998, we purchased our first electrode welder which enables us to build custom battery assemblies for rebuilding packs for laptop computers, camcorders, tools and obsolete (but valued!) items. Some of the most unusual packs include those sold for salmon migration buoys, night vision goggles and gun sights, subterranean water meters, and interactive pagers. Some of our larger customers include Westin Hotels, US Army, Air Force, Navy, Providence Hospitals, and many municipalities throughout the USA. Some of the most fun sales are for the 12/24 volt kiddy cars from Fisher Price. Large or small, we enjoy selling batteries of all types even if we have to build it and install it (did I mention the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse batteries?).As new suppliers (as there are now over 150 vendors) and product knowledge increases, our projection for the fiscal year 2003-2004 is just over $2 million. Our written goal is to have 12 company and independently owned franchised stores in the Puget Sound area. Our website serves as our "virtual store." With current customers as close as next door and as far away as Indonesia, Singapore, Germany and the Caribbean we find that knowledge, service and price are king in the virtual world, just as we have learned in the retail/wholesale brick and mortar business since 1985. Often, our web business involves brokering batteries from our networks of trusted distributors and suppliers. Why should a 3500 lb. forklift battery come from our warehouse if our Wisconsin, Louisiana or California suppliers have them in stock to your specification? Innovation is the key to our company's success. When you buy a battery from us, we are the ones who guarantee your satisfaction.
