If you live in Houston, you know Jim McIngvale—or rather, "Mattress Mack." As local businessmen go, he's among the most recognizable thanks to the local TV ads for his Gallery Furniture stores.
Those stores are now serving a new role—emergency shelters for families in Houston driven from their homes by flood waters.
Our GF N FWRY & GF Grand PKWY stores are open for those in need. If you can safely join us, we invite you for shelter and food. God Blesspic.twitter.com/IHHgjKmjMY (https://t.co/IHHgjKmjMY)
