Wonderly Lights has brightened its footprint with the addition of three new franchise owners, extending its reach to Orlando, Birmingham, and North Dallas–Fort Worth. The expansion reflects the brand’s continued growth in the decorative lighting industry as it moves toward creating more opportunities for entrepreneurs and adding a touch of brilliance to new communities just in time for the holiday season.
In Orlando, franchise owner Lee Howell brings years of experience in private equity and IT program management. His business background and enthusiasm for community engagement form a solid foundation for delivering lighting experiences that are as strategic as they are stunning. Howell said he looks forward to bringing Wonderly Lights’ signature designs to local neighborhoods and making each installation a reflection of joy and creativity.
In Birmingham, Keith and Connie Bridgham are embarking on their next professional chapter after more than two decades in commercial contracting. The husband-and-wife team sees outdoor lighting as a business built around satisfaction and celebration. “Outdoor lighting is simply a fun business with mostly happy customers,” Keith said, noting that the opportunity allows them to channel their skills into something both profitable and personally rewarding.
The North DFW franchise is led by partners Cam Danh and Chris Duran, who come from strong backgrounds in product and program management. They aim to expand Wonderly Lights’ offerings beyond seasonal holiday installations, creating year-round lighting experiences for homes and businesses. Their vision blends operational precision with creativity, helping shape an enterprise that connects aesthetics with reliability.
Wonderly Lights President Brian Garrison said the new franchisees represent the brand’s future. “Each of these owners brings a unique blend of experience and passion,” he said. “They share a commitment to quality and community that defines our approach to lighting.” With this expansion, Wonderly Lights continues to illuminate not just streets and storefronts but also pathways for entrepreneurs eager to build businesses that make their communities shine.
