The Furniture Salesman that Saved Houston: Mattress Mack
quote:
If you live in Houston, you probably know Jim McIngvale as his alter-ego "Mattress Mack." For almost four decades, Mack has been selling furniture in the greater Houston area through his business Gallery Furniture. Known for his energetic local TV commercials where the natural born huckster unleashed his famous tagline that Gallery Furniture would "Save you money," Mack grew his business from being a series of tents along a highway into multiple, massive locations employing hundreds of people.
In addition to being known for his salesmanship, Mack is also known around town for his philanthropy. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Jim opened his Gallery Furniture locations to people seeking shelter. Every year he gives away furniture to families in need and provides hot meals during the holidays. Most recently, Mack converted parts of his main Gallery Furniture location into a trade and high school, helping students who dropped out of public school gain an education. Mack is fixture of Houston and a true local legend.

And it all started because of his brother who graduated from LSU.Mack is at his place from bell to bell, and is the hardest worker you have ever seen. You can walk though the front door and see him answering the phone. Super human

Hey is legit and like others said almost always in the store working.

He's a good guy and does a ton for his community. We have bought furniture from him and his people were great to deal with. He also showed me his Astros World Series ring, he walks around with it in his pocket like it's no big deal.
A good friend of mine has a house next door to his on Lake Travis, the place is crazy. I know he has a bowling alley inside and he's only there 2 or 3 times per year.

That's pretty cool about how he helped kids who dropped out of school.

Is that the guy who made Joel Osteen look like Satan himself, even though he didn't need the help?

By opening his stores as shelters when Osteen wouldn’t open his church? Yes.

I'm surprised he hasn't been cancelled yet. Every time a white guy tries to do a good deed a plant based journalist runs an enema back ground search to make sure he didn't say something offensive when he was 15.

I think even dudes like Quantrel X know that they don't have the juice to go after Mattress Mack.

He is a hellava motivation speaker as well. Very faith based story he tells and is quite inspiring.

He really is an amazing human being. Took a plane of people to a World Series game in Cali a few years back as well

Spoke to my elementary school when I was in second grade. We were star struck.

They probably did this piece on him because they saw he paid out all the winnings for his "pick the election winner" contest. Probably didn't do any research on what it was and thought he was giving away furniture because Biden won.
