Felix Garcia always knew he wanted to be a business owner. In 2011, Garcia fulfilled his business ownership dreams by opening the landscaping company,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.affordablelawnsfw.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fort-worth-report-veteran-lighting-up-the-holidays-with-new-franchise-2720514" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Affordable Lawns</a>, after being honorably discharged from the U.S. Army. Garcia’s business has been fast-growing, and in 2014 he expanded his reach by including lighting services for the holiday season. To continue the growth, he opened&nbsp;<a href="http://christmasdecor.net/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fort-worth-report-veteran-lighting-up-the-holidays-with-new-franchise-2720514" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Christmas Decor</a>, the holiday decor and landscape lighting franchise. Garcia is excited to be a part of a franchise system.“Over the last month since I’ve gone through my franchise training, I’ve had to follow several different franchisees around and ask questions and ask their advice,” Garcia said. “And there’s always been somebody there to help, which is one of the great things about being part of a franchise.”As lighting becomes more technical, Garcia sees a need for people with expertise to help home and business owners know what product is right for them. As a business owner, he encourages his employees to be leaders to not only assist their customers but help the community. That was another reason&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/christmasdecor">Christmas Decor</a> appealed to Garcia. The brand encourages franchise owners like Felix Garcia to be an active part of the community, and as a veteran, Garcia knows the value of serving one’s community.Read the full article about Garcia’s recent opening&nbsp;<a href="https://fortworthreport.org/2022/11/10/veteran-lighting-up-the-holidays-with-new-franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fort-worth-report-veteran-lighting-up-the-holidays-with-new-franchise-2720514" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;
