Big Beard Battery has officially acquired a new property in Athens, Texas, establishing an expanded headquarters and launching Road Life Complex, a multipurpose destination designed to support RV owners, travelers and customers from across the country. The company's growth has outpaced its current space, necessitating a larger facility to accommodate increased production, installation services, and DIY Clinics.
The newly acquired property, located at 4453 State Highway 31 E, Athens, TX 75752, provides the necessary space for Big Beard Battery's continued expansion. The company started in a cargo trailer, moved into a 2,000-square-foot shop, and quickly reached capacity again, prompting the need for this new location.
Stephanie Henson, co-owner of Big Beard Battery, stated that the move comes at a time when the company has outgrown its current space. The new property will enable the company to continue growing and better serve its customers, with plans to expand production capacity, increase installation availability, and reopen a retail storefront.
The expanded facility includes multiple service bays, additional workspace for battery assembly and system installations, and a storefront where customers can purchase components directly. This centralized location will bring together manufacturing, installations, retail access, and RV accommodations under one roof.
A key feature of Road Life Complex is its 23 full-hookup RV sites, allowing customers and travelers to stay on-site while visiting the facility or participating in DIY Clinics. The gated property also offers bathhouse and laundry facilities, creating a convenient and welcoming stop for RV travelers passing through Athens.
This expansion represents an investment not only in Big Beard Battery's future but also in creating a destination that supports the RV lifestyle and the growing demand for reliable off-grid power solutions. By providing a one-stop shop for customers, Big Beard Battery is poised to capitalize on this trend.
Operations at the new headquarters will roll out in phases, with plans to increase production capacity, expand installation availability, and continue growing the services offered at Road Life Complex. This phased approach will enable the company to manage growth while maintaining its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
The acquisition of this property is a significant step forward for Big Beard Battery, solidifying its position as a leader in the off-grid power solutions industry. As the demand for reliable off-grid power continues to grow, companies like Big Beard Battery are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
By investing in Road Life Complex, Big Beard Battery is not only expanding its operations but also creating a destination that supports the RV lifestyle and promotes a culture of sustainability and self-sufficiency.
This move solidifies Big Beard Battery's position as a leader in the off-grid power solutions industry.
