TEXAS TRADITION | THE GARLAND GUIDE 2014
Agriculture, Industry and Innovation More than 125 years ago, the rival communities of Duck Creek and Embree set aside grievances and combined on neutral ground in the new city of Garland, Texas. Today the city has grown into a globally-recognized manufacturing base for a wide spectrum of industry. Before this evolution was ever conceived, a small group of soldiers’ wives set the stage for the strong will of generations of Garland citizens. As told in Richard Abshire’s “Garland: A Contemporary History,” cotton was in short supply during the Civil War. Families were running out of resources as they watched wagons full of the cotton bales they so desperately needed be transported to battle grounds to be used as barricades. Unwilling to let the needs of their families go unmet, the group of women seized a wagon loaded with those precious bales, jumped on board, and pushed a bale to the
ground to claim as their own. Either out of admiration or amusement the driver left the bale with the hijackers and continued on his way. The bravery and determination of these women perfectly embody the spirit of Garland entrepreneurs through a rich history of agriculture, industry and innovation. Garland is a place that does whatever it takes to get the job done. From those early times when cotton production was king, through the railroad era, and on to manufacturing, the city has continued to build on the fundamental principle that a city’s economy will grow when it makes something. When the

community needed basic energy services, Garland built Garland Power & Light, a city-owned and operated power company. When cotton and onion crops could no longer sustain the local economy, the Chamber of Commerce began recruiting industry, starting with Craddock Foods and the Byer-Rolnick Hat Corporation in the thirties. Just a short decade later in 1941, Southern Aircraft, Guiberson Diesel, Continental Motors, and Luscombe Airplane Corp. came to town. Collectively those companies employed more than 5,000 people and the list of companies recruited continued to grow at a remarkable

Known for an intense entrepreneurial spirit, Garland companies like KARLEE (a Malcolm Baldrige Award winner) and Garrett Metal Detectors grew from garage shops to internationallyrecognized industry leaders. Today, Garland is home to more than 350 manufacturers thriving on a tremendous labor force, supportive city
services, superior education, and the proximity to customers and suppliers. Though Garland’s cotton-picking days are a distant memory, the city still believes that the economy will thrive when its businesses are making something, and Garland is making a lot. This is why, without hesitation, those who know Garland best can say, Texas is made here.

The Evolution of an Iconic Identity GARLAND: THE COWBOY HAT CAPITAL OF TEXAS
CHECKING THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AT THE BYER-ROLNICK HAT CORPORATION, 1955
In 1938, the Byer-Rolnick Hat Corporation was lured from Dallas to a fifty-acre site in Garland with the promise of low water rates. This seemingly simple incentive sparked the beginning of the now booming industry that would grow to become Garland’s identity. Byer-Rolnick evolved into Arena Brands with its Hatco Hats division headquartered in the plant on Marion Drive where the plant began producing well-known brands such as Resistol, Dobbs and Charlie 1 Horse, all of which are still in production today. In 1995, designer Gary Rosenthal moved to Garland with the Stetson production
line, adding another iconic label to the factory. Rosenthal and other company designers have worked with popular entertainers like George Strait and many professional bull riders to develop new products. In a 2013 speech about the business, the Director of Plant Operations for Hatco, John Rosenthal, reminded the crowd that
14 | T E X A S T R A D I T I O N | 2014 COMMUNITY GUIDE AND BUSINESS DIRECTORY
the technology for making cowboy hats hasn’t changed in decades. Each hat goes through about 200 steps in the five- to nine-day manufacturing process and the plant produces about a million hats each year. Though the company now operating under the Hatco name was the first to arrive in our city, it wasn’t the last. Master
“Most people don’t know that when they see someone wearing a cowboy hat, that it was most likely made right here in Garland!” - REP. BUTTON Hatters of Texas, Inc. was established in 1968 by William C. Cook. Cook began his career with Byer-Rolnick Hat Company and as his skill and passion grew, he developed his line of quality western hats for his own company. Master Hatters continues to make fine straw, wool and fur felt hats in a 50,000 square foot plant in Garland. In 1983, John Milano, a former employee at Hatco, took his love of hat making to his own company as well when he founded the Milano Hat Company, which operates a 63,000 square-foot plant on State Highway 66 in Garland. After 75 years, the hat making business is thriving, but the excitement over this Texas tradition is far from over. Garland, Texas made history on June 14, 2013 when HCR 96, proclaiming Garland as the Cowboy Hat Capital of Texas, was signed into law. Representative Angie Chen Button, District 112, has been a loyal leader in the Garland community since her election to the Texas House of Representatives in 2011. During her third term, Rep. Button authored a unique piece of legislation to highlight a littleknown fact about Garland. “One of the first things that comes to mind when people hear the word Texas is Cowboy hats,” Rep. Button said. “When people think of Garland, they often think
of it being a manufacturing powerhouse. However, most people do not know that when they see someone wearing a cowboy hat, that it was most likely made right here in Garland! Resistol hats began being manufactured in Garland in 1938, and companies like Stetson and Charlie 1 began manufacturing their cowboy hats in Garland as well. Today, all three companies are a part of Hatco, which is headquartered in Garland. In addition, other cowboy hat manufacturers like Milano Hat Company, Dallas Hats, and Master Hatters have also made Garland their home. I am proud of my hometown and proud to wear a beautiful cowboy hat made right here in Garland, the Cowboy Hat Capital of Texas!” In addition to her service in the Texas House of Representatives, Rep. Button has worked for Texas Instruments (TI) since 1981 where she promotes American products internationally as a Marketing Manager. She is also a CPA with Masters´ degrees in Public Finance and Management Sciences.
REP. BUTTON SIGNED HCR 96 INTO LAW, PROCLAIMING GARLAND AS THE COWBOY HAT CAPITAL OF TEXAS
The Garland Chamber of Commerce officially extends its gratitude to Rep. Button and all her supporters for passing this piece of legislation into law. We are proud for our city to be recognized for the long-standing tradition of quality, Texas-made cowboy hats.

PERENNIAL PROGRESS | THE GARLAND GUIDE 2014
A City of Perennial Progress Garland is fortunate to be part of one of the fastest growing regions in the country. Over the next few years, tremendous economic growth is projected for the DFW region as a whole. Based on Envision Garland studies, Garland is projected to have an estimated 9.1 million residents by the year 2030. The City of Garland is planning to utilize its many existing assets to benefit from this anticipated growth. In an effort to do so strategically, the City staff, residents, business owners, property owners, and stakeholders have established the Envision Garland Comprehensive Plan. This master plan was designed to clearly define guidelines for achieving the community vision over the next 20 years to 2030. Through strategies that address land use, housing, neighborhoods, economic development, transportation, infrastructure, and community design needs, Envision Garland gives the community a broad view of what can

be expected in the years to come. It also establishes a set of coordinated policies and strategies guiding the City’s development future and provides a resource for City departments, investors, property owners, and others seeking to invest in the community. Garland enters its future with the expectation of continuing the re-development and expansion of an already vibrant and varied business community. Garland’s government, residents, businesses, stakeholders and organizations are all focused on continuing this boom of success together. The vision for the Downtown Garland Catalyst Area has already kicked off with some major changes in the works at City Hall. Garland’s historic Landmark Museum and railcar have also been relocated to make room for more future developments in the area. In fact, evaluating the Downtown Square design to create a larger, more functional, and inviting public space is one of the next steps included in Envision Garland for the revitalization of community design.
Garland’s Vision for 2030 In 2030, Garland will be a community that blends timeless tradition and modern advancements into a distinctive destination for people and businesses. The community will successfully adapt to evolving needs and benefit from new opportunities, solidifying the city’s identity as a sustainable community with a hometown feel. Garland will continue to be a community known for its appealing neighborhoods, globally-connected business hub, beautiful parks, active lakefront, and natural areas.

Continued Excellence in the Garland Independent School District New Direction. New Structure. Continued Excellence. With just nine superintendents in more than 100 years, Garland ISD is a district deeply rooted in history. While embracing that past, new superintendent Bob Morrison has shifted his sights toward GISD’s future. Changing direction and possibly venturing into uncharted territory, he hopes to build on the district’s legacy of strong leadership, supportive staff and successful students. Read Morrison’s interview below to see where GISD is headed.

“The topic of technology dominated many conversations. Teachers and students can clearly benefit from more tools in every classroom, 1:1 computer access at every campus and possibly a personal device plan. Staff members also shared several thoughts about the district’s curriculum, expressing a desire for it to be available online. This would create more cohesion districtwide and increase our transparency to the public. If someone wanted to know what a fourth-grader learned at Garland ISD, they could visit our website and see lesson plans for that grade. One more hot topic was expanding fine arts programs at the elementary level. In the future, we hope to have a designated art teacher at every campus.”

Getting Around in Garland
STRETCHING FROM NORTHERN DALLAS CTY. INTO SOUTHERN COLLIN CTY., GARLAND, TX OFFERS THE BEST OF WHAT THESE DIVERSE NORTH TEXAS REGIONS HAVE TO OFFER.
The city is connected to the world through the DFW International and Love Field Airports, both of which are less than 40 minutes away. Garland also has two rail stations of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system, DART bus service and an extensive network of major highways and interstates. Located at the crossing of two key heavy freight lines and both regional and interstate transportation corridors, Garland is a powerful part of the regional economy.
Regional/Interstate Roadways
Heavy Rail
When considering commute times to many major employment areas and local attractions, Garland is a practical choice for residents. Bordered by two major highways, President George Bush Turnpike (190) and Lyndon B Johnson Freeway (635), residents have quick access to the entire region. The competitive advantage of Garland’s central location will be further enhanced over the next several years with the completion of the eastern section of President George Bush Turnpike (north and east) to I-30 (south) and I-635 to the south. The NTTA also plans to extend the western PGBT terminus south to Interstate 20 through the city of Grand Prairie, forming a half loop around the city of Dallas. This phase is still in the early stages and the NTTA has not released a completion date; however, construction on 161 Toll south of State Highway 183 is in progress. Long-term plans are for the turnpike to form a full outer loop around Dallas, dubbed Loop 9.
Before the Great Depression, the Santa Fe (now Kansas City Southern) and MK&T Railroads (who later merged with Union Pacific) wrote the history of Garland’s business expansion, primarily centered on the distribution of cotton and onions, and telephone/telegraph services. Heavy rail and passenger rail lines continue to play an important role in Garland’s future development. The development of the Union Pacific Inland Port in Southern Dallas over the next 30 years promises to increase Class I rail traffic throughout the Union Pacific system, including shortline feeders such as the Dallas-GarlandNortheastern Railroad.

Garland has two light rail stations linking residents and employees with the region. Located in the heart of two of Garland’s largest employment centers, the Forest/ Jupiter and Downtown Light Rail Stations serve more than 3,000 riders each weekday. The City continues to encourage higher intensity residential, retail and employment uses adjacent to the stations for its near and long term economic growth. Adding further connectivity and convenience, in 2013, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) opened the eastern extension of the Blue Line that connects Downtown Garland with Downtown Rowlett. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Mobility 2030 Plan also recommends study of the Kansas City Southern rail corridor north from Downtown Garland to Lake Lavon to accommodate future passenger rail needs (Wylie). This could ultimately give Garland three DART rail stations, further interweaving the city into the center of the Metroplex.

GETTING SETTLED | THE GARLAND GUIDE 2014
The Best Kept Secret in Residential Real Estate BY: JENNA DICKSON
BELOW: MALINDA HOWELL, SALES MANAGER AT EBBY HALLIDAY REALTORS
One gorgeous morning, I took the short trip to the Ebby Halliday regional office managed by local real estate expert Malinda Howell to gain a little insight into just what attracts people to put down roots and claim Garland as their hometown. Our conversation started as one between old friends; reminiscing about college days and early career lessons, but in no time at all, her passion for Garland began to surface. For more than 16 years, Howell has guided countless home owners through the buying and selling process; and when it comes to residential real estate, this born and raised Garland girl knows a thing or two about why Garland is the “best kept secret” in the Metroplex. “One of the things that makes Garland a unique place for home ownership are the values here,” Howell said. “It’s still extremely affordable for the quality of house you get.” She’s exactly right. Of the 340 metropolitan areas surveyed by the Center for Community and Economic Research, Texas ranks as the 14th most affordable place to own or rent a place to live. The cost of housing in Texas is 72.1 percent of the average cost of housing in the United States, meaning Texas is very affordable as compared to other states and the nation as a whole. Garland itself is one of the most affordable places to buy a home as it is ranked first of all major Texas cities in housing affordability. According to Texas A & M University’s Texas Housing Affordability Index, as of the end of 2012, Garland received the highest affordability ranking of any Texas city. The value and affordability these
statistics reflect are true for every level of home buyer as the housing availability is highly diversified to meet the needs and desires of most buyers. Whether it’s your first home as a married couple or you’re investing a little more long term in executive-level housing, you can expect your money to go a long way in Garland. According to Howell, the ability to write off the interest on a mortgage is one of the greatest incentives for people purchasing a home, but home ownership is also a great long-term strategy for building equity – particularly in the DFW area. “Texas is such a healthy economy,” Howell said. “We don’t have the problems the east and west coasts do where their homes appreciate 20 and 30 percent. Our homes don’t appreciate like that. They appreciate 4 to 5 percent a year. So it’s a slow appreciation, but it’s a great longterm appreciation; where the swings of an east coast, west coast, California, Florida you’re earning 20 or 30 percent and then your economy goes down, then your house is worth 20 or 30 percent less than you paid for it. We don’t have those kinds of issues here.” While this stability is true for the vast majority of Texas residential property, Howell explained that DFW experiences even more consistency than other areas. Over time, Garland home owners can expect steady increases in the value of their home.

“One of the things that makes Garland a
unique place for home ownership are the values here. It’s still extremely affordable for the quality of house you get.” - MALINDA HOWELL
32 | G E T T I N G S E T T L E D | 2014 COMMUNITY GUIDE AND BUSINESS DIRECTORY
All these excellent affordability statistics aside, Howell recognizes that when people are making the decision to put down their roots, it’s about more than money. “People buy communities now. They’re very communal. People want to know what they’re surrounded by. Are they near parks, restaurants, shopping, houses of worship? They want to be out enjoying life, whether it’s walking the dog or playing in Garland’s great parks, these are deciding factors for today’s buyer.” Howell also recognized Garland’s school district as a primary deciding factor for relocation buyers. Garland ISD offers amazing opportunities for our students, including high quality academic programs and a broad range of extracurricular activities to help any student find and pursue their passion. For Metroplex commuters, Garland also offers a significant advantage concerning the daily drive. Bordered by two major highways, President George Bush Turnpike (190) and Lyndon B Johnson Freeway (635), residents have quick access to the entire region. If facing rush hour traffic into Dallas isn’t your cup of tea, Garland has two DART light rail stations that serve more than 3,000 riders each weekday. Together, DART’s rail and bus systems provide great transit alternatives for Metroplex commuters; however, there are also thousands of top-level employers, manufacturing companies, small businesses and entrepreneurship opportunities right here in the Garland city limits. As the conversation continued, Howell shared more about the experience of buying her first home, right here in Garland, Texas, and the immense value homeowners can add to their neighborhoods with a few simple updates. According to Howell’s experience, house maintenance greatly affects perceived value for potential buyers. When you invest, even as little as just taking care of your yard, planting flowers, landscaping, or trimming trees and bushes, that makes a difference. The drive-up appeal to your neighborhood is the first impression of what the value of the neighborhood is going to be. And as far as growth is concerned, Howell sees
the highest potential in neighborhood revitalization. “I think we will have growth,” Howell said. “Unfortunately we’re kind of landlocked, so I think it’s going to be about revitalization of some neighborhoods. It’s going to be about investing back into your home.” Those updates and improvements aren’t limited to curb appeal, either. If you’re considering selling your property in the next few years, Howell highly encourages making a few modern updates now so you can enjoy them while you still live there. “Today’s consumers for the most part have good jobs, good credit, not a lot of cash and not a lot of time,” Howell said. “They want to buy a home that’s been updated. They still want the mature trees and the beautiful house in the great neighborhood, but they want an updated kitchen, and they want modern appliances and new flooring. So when you look at resale value and why people want to come here, I think revitalization of the neighborhood is crucial to why our values will increase.” As far as the near future is concerned, Howell has heard rumblings of a few potential housing development projects in the area, but the next big thing that will bring residents to Garland is the construction of the State Farm headquarters at the intersection of Highway 75 and President George Bush Turnpike. Although the building itself is in Richardson, it’s a quick commute down the tollway from Garland and Howell expects many of those 7,500 relocating employees to find what they’re looking for in our city.
Looking for a little advise on selling your home? Stage Your Home
“Staging a home in today’s market is crucial. You aren’t selling your things, you’re selling the home. So you have to declutter, depersonalize and make it neutral for every consumer’s taste. You want to attract the masses to increase your value. If you plan is to sell in the next five years, go ahead and do those updates now so you can enjoy them ... Go ahead and invest that money now because 80-90 percent of what you invest, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, you’re going to get back ten-fold.”
Choose the Right Realtor
“When you hire a realtor, make sure they’re doing all of the marketing things in today’s market. The consumer is online. Professional photography, wide angle lens, perfect lighting, drive-up appeal… People are looking online before they ever get here. If the photography isn’t good online, they’re going to skip over that house. Your photos should say, ‘Here I am, come see me!’”
Invest Back in Your Home
“In my opinion, everyone deserves home ownership; whether it’s a $50,000 home or a $300,000 home. It’s the great thing about the American dream. We get that. We get to own our own homes here. And regardless of the price point you’re buying in, everything can look great.”
Take Pride in What You Own
“It goes back to taking pride in what you own, taking care of it, being communal and getting involved in your neighborhood. Invest in what you own. Revitalize what you own. And encourage home ownership. I think home ownership makes a city. Those old homes have so much charm. People just need to go in and revitalize them.” Whether you’re buying, selling or settling down in Garland, getting the most out of your home requires a investing quite a bit more than money.

Manufacturing & DCMA
MEMBERSHIP IN THE DALLAS COUNTY MANUFACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY MANUFACTURER LOCATED IN DALLAS COUNTY.
Garland has been recognized as a manufacturing city since the 1950s, and numerous Fortune 500 corporations chose Garland as a location for their strategic operations. As business retention is a critical piece of any city’s strategic plan, it has become increasingly important to ensure Garland’s manufacturers have easy access to the resources they need to operate successfully. In 2006, the Garland Chamber of Commerce founded the Dallas County Manufacturers’ Association in order to better serve the needs of the industry that has long been the backbone of the Garland economy. More than 350 thriving manufacturing businesses have been supporting the Garland economy through highly varied product production for decades. These businesses have widely diversified and highly specialized operations, presenting a unique opportunity for
the Chamber to further its mission of maintaining a sustainable economy by interacting directly with professionals in the manufacturing sector. The mission of the DCMA is to provide the Dallas County manufacturing community with the best opportunities to be sustainable in the global marketplace through facilitating workforce development, advocacy at the local, state and national level, and the sharing of best practices among its members. This mission is carried out through a variety
With the help of local higher education partners like Richland College, more than a thousand employees have received grant-funded training since DCMA’s inception. Programs like this not only heighten the skills and abilities of the Garland workforce, but also improve operations to be carried out more safely and efficiently.
“Micropac has received many benefits as a DCMA member company. As a specific example, we received training through a Richland College/ DCMA grant for broad level skills development across our company. A couple of years ago we experienced a down turn in one of our divisions, while we had a significant increase in our sister division. As a direct result of the skills training, we avoided layoffs by transferring employees across divisions who fortunately had the skills training needed.” Mark King, CEO, Micropac Industries, Inc.
of venues that both contribute resources and facilitate understanding among industry and community leaders. Each month, committees of Human Resources, Supply Chain and Safety professionals meet to learn more about their areas of business through the sharing of best practices. Because Garland is home to so many industry leaders, participants can be sure that they’re learning reliable, proven tactics and can take them back to their own plants for continuous improvement.
The DCMA further assists local manufacturers by acting as an advocate for any operational or legislative issues that impede progress for production or add unwarranted complications.
“KARLEE recently had a large pothole in one of our main shipping routes that was causing havoc for our trucks. Fortunately the relationships formed through the DCMA allowed us to resolve this problem in a matter of days with just one phone call. The high level of performance from the DCMA is something KARLEE has come to trust and rely upon whether it is working with the city or helping us find our next innovative training solution.” Chad Brumit, Vice President, KARLEE Co.

Cultivating Small Business Success
EXPERIENCED SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER ADVISOR JUDITH COLLINS SHARED THESE STORIES OF BUSINESSES WHO HAVE SEEN GREAT SUCCESS AS A RESULT OF TIME SPENT WITH THE SBDC.
The Garland Chamber is the first Chamber to host a satellite office of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), where businesses can schedule appointments for free, in-depth counseling and consulting services on a range of topics, from financial analysis to strategic sales plans. All services provided through the SBDC are free of charge and available to any small business in the area.
Marketing Solutions Helped This Local Start-Up Really Take Off: Herman Marshall Co-founders Marshall Louis and Herman Beckley, brewers of Herman Marshall Texas Bourbon Whiskey, came to the Dallas SBDC in Garland to learn how to develop a marketing strategy to help them position themselves as the next best Whiskey brewing company. They were a start-up company planning their debut in the competitive landscape of boutique distillery. The two had met at Starbucks about 12 years prior, became fast friends, and started making whiskey. The product’s quality and quantity escalated to the point where they knew it was time to turn the hobby into a business. Louis’s background includes winemaking in South Africa and Beckley was a passionate hobbyist before the two teamed up. Several years ago, they started Dallas Distilleries and out of that, the Herman Marshall brand. Herman and Marshall had sourced a few advertising agencies before coming the Dallas SBDC in Garland because they knew brand development would be critical to their success. However, they quickly learned from Judith Collins, the Dallas SBDC advisor, that identifying the right target market was essential to brand development and without this analysis their marketing strategy
would lose its impact. She advised them that they needed to develop a precise profile of their target market; to the point where they could completely visualize a person who would drink Herman Marshall Whiskey. The founders needed to determine where this ideal target consumer might live, what he or she might look like, even his or her personality and habits in order to craft the perfect marketing message that would accompany the well-crafted whiskey. Once they could pinpoint and visual their ideal customer, the look and feel of the brand emerged with little effort. After just a few sessions with Judith, Herman and Marshall were able to articulate
48 | B U S I N E S S E N V I R O N M E N T | 2014 COMMUNITY GUIDE AND BUSINESS DIRECTORY
their target market analysis to the ad agency and roll out an ad campaign that has already won several local accolades. In fact, a number of popular Dallas restaurants, pubs and bars are already pouring Herman Marshall Whiskey, including The Londoner, Christies Sports Bar and Grill, the Standard Pour and Bryan Street Tavern, just to name a few. The whiskey is also available local liquor retailers like Goody Goody, Spec’s, Sigel’s and Cheers. Earlier in 2013, the spirit earned a silver medal in the straight bourbon category at the prestigious, blind-tasted American Distilling Institute 7th Annual Judging of Artisan American Spirits. cont. on pg. 50

Setting Goals Leads to Major Growth for Local Franchisee: Curves Garland Owner Valerie Pridemore opened a Curves franchise in 2009. She was looking for an occupation where she could help women prevent chronic diseases via a small business venture. At the time, Valerie was undergoing her own health battle of losing weight and she wanted an environment where she stay motivated and focus on her goal. She was a dedicated member of a local Curves gym

when the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself. She was asked by the owner to purchase the franchise. It was a perfect fit. She had lost 120 pounds and still had about 40 more to go. Valerie quickly passed the Curves beta test specifically designed to screen Curves franchise owners. In 2011, she was selected as a Corporate Mentor, and provided support for new franchisees entering the Curves pre-approval certifications process. Valerie became an amazing business owner, but just like everyone else, she had her struggles in the recession during 2009 when she lost members and had to think differently about keeping her business afloat. That’s when Valerie visited the Dallas SBDC and met with Judith Collins. Judith helped Valerie to focus on how to grow her business by utilizing social media and setting both long- and short-term sales goals that were realistic and achievable. “Curves International provided a lot of opportunities to help me implement my sales plan but it was Judith that helped me to apply my sales plan to suit my unique needs,” Pridemore said. As a result, Valerie’s Garland-based Curves club has been awarded the Elite status, which is the highest level of excellence for a Curves franchise. In early 2013, she purchased her second Curves club that was struggling and has brought it back to profitability in no time. Revenues for 2013 are estimated to be $100,000. Valerie stabilized staff employment with her second Curves club by retaining jobs and hiring 10 new employees. She is now looking to add even more.

Entreprenurial BY: JENNA DICKSON
Garland is blessed to be a city rich with the entrepreneurial spirit. In the past few years, our city has acquired a new industry, leading that spirit to be embodied in actual spirits – whiskey, wine and craft beer to be specific. Dallas Distilleries, which produces Herman Marshall Whiskey, Queen’s Winery and Lakewood Brewery are all located right here in Garland, and they’re making quite a name for themselves on the shelves.
A Sweet Transition from Passion to Profession
I recently had the opportunity to tour Queen’s Winery and sit down with the man behind the wine, Joe Southwell, to learn about his business and just what it takes to go from hobby enthusiast to industry professional. According to Southwell, broadly speaking, all wine and all alcohol is made the same way. You start off with a sugar source, add yeast, the yeast consumes the sugar and becomes alcohol. Wines range from sweet to dry depending on how much of that sugar was allowed to be consumed during the process. But if you
think you know where this story is headed, don’t think so fast. Queen’s Winery has a unique twist. “All of our wine is made from honey, there are no grapes whatsoever,” Southwell said. This fact comes as quite a surprise to many consumers who believe grape juice and wine are nearly synonymous, but the truth is, honey wine is the oldest form of alcohol in the books. Southwell says it even pre-dates the wheel and axel, joking that our ancient ancestors were in fact drinking before they were driving. This age-old process of winemaking involves a few extra steps because honey is naturally too rich of a sugar and can’t be fermented on its own. One of the first things they
have to do is blend the honey with wellfiltered water to dilute the honey and properties of it that naturally prevent fermentation. If you’re wondering what attracted Southwell to this specific form of winemaking, you’re not alone. He gets that question a lot, and his answer may surprise you. “Honey is better for the environment,” Southwell said. “It takes 1,500 gallons of water to make one bottle of grape wine because grapes need to be irrigated. Bees don’t need to be irrigated to make honey. In fact, they don’t even like to be irrigated!” After a brief crash course in what making honey wine is all about, we started to talk business. When Southwell decided to take the risk of starting his own business, there was much more to think about than just the quality of his wine, starting with location. Southwell was living nearby in Dallas and looking for a place close to home. He’d found a small place in Dallas that he liked and immediately hit a snag in the process. “We went to get all our permits and things and the Dallas zoning laws were insane,” Southwell said. “They considered alcohol production manufacturing and therefore wherever we were had to be zoned heavy industrial.” Needing just a small warehouse, not a giant factory, the industrial areas just didn’t suit the winery’s operations. They had an option to file for a special use
“Spirit” permit and go before City Council, but Southwell felt like by broadening their search beyond Dallas, they might have better luck. They found Garland soon after and in his words, “The difference was night and day.” “The government here was ready and eager to help,” Southwell said. “We said this is what we’re doing and they were like, ‘Sure!’” There were still some health code issues to overcome, as health codes in any city are primarily written for the restaurant industry. Things that traditionally promote sanitary food handling and healthy environments weren’t practical for a winery. For example, exposed wood violates most health codes, but in the wine making industry, wood barrels are a critical part of the production process. The requirement for quarried tile floors was another rule that would prove difficult to follow as Southwell knew they’d be running forklifts across the floors to move pallets and barrels, causing tile to shatter within days. Fortunately, the Garland government was eager to make things work, suggesting solutions that matched the intent of the codes, without compromising functionality or safety. This reasonable approach is essentially what allowed the alcohol production industry to survive in Garland. “If you have the option between Dallas and Garland, I would do Garland for business,” Southwell said. “The government is way easier to work with and more eager to work with you.” Before ever beginning operations, Queen’s Winery had months of paperwork and legal processes to work through in addition to preparing the location and finalizing strategies. If you’re not much of a history buff, you may not know that after prohibition, the legalization of alcohol was left up to each individual state, creating 50 separate sets of laws Southwell had to
“ If you have the option between Dallas and Garland, I would do Garland for business,” Southwell said. “The government is way easier to work with and more eager to work with you.” learn. Although he’s only manufacturing in Texas, there are specific regulations for how he can ship the wine to other states and who he can ship it to. Legal violations in any business can be quite costly, so this requires constant monitoring. Careful attention to detail was a common theme in our conversation, particularly as we started to talk about calculating the risks and costs of starting a business. Southwell has seen a lot of start-up businesses lose everything because they looked at the numbers poorly and risked money they couldn’t afford to lose. His best advice – watch every cost. The team at Queen’s Winery looked at several areas where they could make trade-offs. They knew they didn’t want to compromise on anything that would affect the quality of their products, but they found some other ways to cut expenses. The winery’s dairy tank is a perfect example of a practical trade off. Instead of a traditional, vertical wine tank, Southwell decided to use a horizontal dairy tank. This type of tank allows them
to regulate temperature easily and they got it at a better price, but there are some disadvantages to using a piece of equipment that wasn’t intended for wine making. It’s a little awkward for determining volume and they don’t have a floating top to prevent oxygen from reacting with the wine. They’ve used a little ingenuity and creativity to find solutions, but he says it’s all about what trades you’re willing to make. One trade they wouldn’t make – the filter. It’s the most expensive piece of equipment in the winery, and to them, it’s worth the investment. Three years after filling their first bottle of wine at Queen’s Winery, Southwell and his team are still working hard at building their following. As most people can recognize, the honey wine market isn’t necessarily as broad as grape wine, so Southwell and his team are really focusing on educating consumers while they reintroduce the idea. “We’re still tackling awareness,” Southwell said. “Some people still don’t realize that wine can even be made from honey.”

One thing’s for sure, no matter what business you’re in, entrepreneurship is a roller coaster, with high highs and low lows, but if you’ve got the stomach for it, Southwell says that with the high risk comes high reward. As we wrapped things up, he shared these lessons learned in the business’s first three years.
1. “You have to get thick skin. There are people who you’re not going to please.” In the early months, Southwell found it difficult to keep from getting offended when people tasted his wine and didn’t like it. After all the effort, time and money put into a product, it can be tough to not take criticism personally. Southwell encourages entrepreneurs, artists and craftsman of any kind to remember that you can’t be everything to everyone. Some people will love your product, some people won’t; and that’s ok.
many people you’ll actually be able to approach in a day, how likely they are to make a purchase and how long it will be until they purchase again. 3. “Think about why somebody would want to spend what they have for what you’re offering.”
Consumers have a lot of options in almost every product category. When starting your own business, make sure you understand what makes you unique. People work hard for their money. Is your product their best option?
2.“Run your numbers all the way through.” Southwell emphasized the importance of thinking practically when looking at budgets, expenses and projected revenue. Think about how
4. “Don’t be super worried about people stealing your idea.” Southwell says he knows lots of people with great ideas, but they
won’t tell anyone. He reminds people considering entrepreneurship that talking to other people about your ideas, particularly people in the industry, is the only what you’ll find out whether it’s going to work. He says people are busy working and being successful at what they are doing and they’re probably not as interested in stealing your idea as you are paranoid that they will. 5. “Above all, be honest.” Sometimes things might not be perfect. Maybe your projections were off, maybe an order didn’t get filled on time, but whether you’re talking to consumers, suppliers, distributors or anyone else, don’t deceive. You may not need to tell everybody everything, but don’t lie to anyone. Your credibility as a business owner is always more important.

DFW Movers & Erectors, Inc. Since 1980, the name, DFW Movers and Erectors, Inc. has carried a reputation for its unwavering commitment to excellence in customer service. Joanne and Neal Ingle started DFW Movers & Erectors in Fort Worth, Texas with one truck and a mission to build a company founded on integrity and dedication to customer satisfaction. “Our ultimate goal is to please the customer. We don’t cut corners and we stand by our work,” said Joanne Ingle, CEO/President. The once small home spun business now services companies across the United States, Canada, and Mexico and has continued to expand their offices in Texas to San Antonio, Kyle, and now Garland. DFW Movers of Garland offers East Texas companies the security of
neighborhood convenience by providing the same services closer to home. They can move single machines or an entire operational facility through assessing the turnkey requirements and scope of each project to the final details of the equipment installation. Josh Welch, G.M. of the Garland location emphasizes, “We want to take the fear out of moving. We want to give the customer the comfort to know their machines will be taken care of from the start to the finish.” The company is equipped to move and relocate everything from food processing and metal stamping equipment to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and fragile sculptures. “We are able to meet almost any moving need,” Welch
explains. Through Crate Masters, a division of DFW Movers, they are also able to expand their customers’ options by creating custom crates “on-site” for local or international shipping or storage. In addition, DFW Movers of Garland also provides temporary or long term storage options. However, DFW Movers are more than just movers. With their Laser Precision division, they can diagnose critical machinery and then align and restore the equipment to optimum productivity. “When we leave a job,” Welch elaborates, “we want each machine not only to be handled safely, but we want to get it back up and running right away.” As part of that dedication to excellence, DFW Movers also retrofits and repairs equipment. Their expert millwrights are capable of quick repairs as well as rebuilding machinery to ensure that the customer’s equipment operates to its full capacity. Whether it’s moving, crating, erecting, or maintaining manufacturing equipment, DFW Movers stands by its work and its customers. The team in Garland believes the move will expand their ability to meet the needs of their clients in East Texas and to continue to uphold the same pledge to service and quality as envisioned when the company was founded more than three decades ago.

The Connecting Source: Garland Chamber of Commerce The Garland Chamber of Commerce has been in town helping local businesses succeed since 1895; and although we’re a nearly 120-year-old organization, our staff has noticed that there are still quite a few people out there wondering what we’re all about. The Chamber was originally founded as the Garland Commercial Club in 1895 when a small group of residents formed the organization in an effort to get the word out that Garland was a good place to do business. In 1923, the club was renamed the Garland Chamber of Commerce and as the Garland economy has evolved through the years from onion farms to major industry, the Chamber evolved to meet the needs of local businesses in every stage. When Garland’s industrial era began in 1939, the Chamber was largely responsible for the attraction of companies like the Byer-Rolnick Hat Corporation (now known as Hatco) and Southern Aircraft (now General Dynamics).
From the organization’s inception, the Chamber’s staff and board of directors have worked tirelessly to establish a longstanding tradition of facilitating business connections that allow for continuous improvement and long-term success in the Garland economy. In 1995, the Chamber joined together with the City of Garland and Garland Independent School District to establish the Garland Economic Development Partnership. The three branches of the Partnership work together to attract and retain business in the Garland community. This innovative approach allows the city to provide progressive services to both small and large businesses.

As has always been the case throughout the Chamber’s history, supporting industrial growth remains a high priority. Garland is proudly one of the nation’s largest manufacturing cities with more than 350 manufacturers. In 2006, the Chamber made huge strides in supporting the needs of the city’s broad manufacturing base by establishing the Dallas County Manufacturers’ Association, which is a specialized branch of the Chamber focused on facilitating workforce development and advocating on behalf of manufacturers in various local and national issues affecting their sector. True to its roots, the Chamber is dedicated to supporting businesses of all shapes and sizes, particularly the small businesses that form the foundation of Garland’s local economy. In 2011, the Chamber formed yet another monumental partnership, this time with the Dallas Small Business Development Center. The Chamber became the very first Chamber to host a satellite office of the SBDC in order to provide free, in-depth counseling services to start-up companies and existing small businesses. The Chamber and its staff have a firm grasp on what is necessary to reach the high goals Garland has set to attain. Education, workforce training, leadership skills and business counseling are the fundamental pieces to a successful business environment, and the Chamber is the common thread among all parts. At its core, every resource and connection provided by the Chamber serves the same purpose – to help local businesses grow and continue to be successful. Whether it’s clients and customers, business services, community information or operational resources you seek, the Garland Chamber of Commerce is your “Connecting Source.”
