1	1	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 336
2	2	WHEREAS, Family-owned businesses play a vital role in the
3	3	communities of the Lone Star State, and in 2019, the Garcia
4	4	family is celebrating the 80th anniversary of Division Laundry of
5	5	San Antonio; and
6	6	WHEREAS, Peter C. Garcia, an immigrant from San Luis
7	7	Potosí, Mexico, founded Division Laundry as a one-man operation
8	8	in a small building inside Fort Sam Houston in 1939; his business
9	9	originally provided laundry and sewing services to members of the
10	10	2nd Infantry Division, and after it outgrew its location,
11	11	Mr. Garcia moved it into a facility on North New Braunfels
12	12	Avenue; he again relocated the business to a new building
13	13	designed by the National Institute of Laundering and the National
14	14	Dry Cleaning Institute in 1964, and within a decade, it began to
15	15	transition from being a military uniform processor to a laundry
16	16	linen processor; and
17	17	WHEREAS, In 1992, Mr. Garcia's wife, Cecilia Garcia, became
18	18	president of Division Laundry; the business continued to flourish
19	19	under her leadership and later under the guidance of the couple's
20	20	son, Patrick R. Garcia, its current president; the strength and
21	21	resilience of the Garcia family were instrumental in rebuilding the
22	22	company after its plant was devastated by a fire in 2001, and two
23	23	years later, they celebrated the opening of a new plant in its
24	24	place; in honor of the company's "rise from the ashes," a stylized
25	25	phoenix now appears on its logo and branding; and
26	26	WHEREAS, Today, Division Laundry continues to honor its
27	27	founder's commitment to service and workmanship, and the Garcias
28	28	are now welcoming a third generation of family members, Patricia
29	29	Luna, Patrick A. Garcia, and Theresa Garcia, onto the leadership
30	30	team; through the years, the company has established contracts with
31	31	clients that include hospital systems and hotel chains, and it is a
32	32	major provider of jobs in a socioeconomically disadvantaged area of
33	33	San Antonio; and
34	34	WHEREAS, Over the course of eight decades, the Garcia
35	35	family's hard work, vision, and commitment to excellence have
36	36	made Division Laundry an inspiring success story, and it is a
37	37	pleasure to join in congratulating its members on this special
38	38	milestone; now, therefore, be it
39	39	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
40	40	Legislature, hereby commemorate the 80th anniversary of Division
41	41	Laundry of San Antonio and extend to its current owners sincere
42	42	best wishes for the future; and, be it further
43	43	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
44	44	prepared for the Garcia family as an expression of high regard by
45	45	the Texas Senate.
