Jim McIngvale invited hundreds without power after the storm
The owner Jim McIngvale Houston furniture store opened the doors of his furniture stores to the people without power or heat in the frigid cold, Mattress Mack invited hundreds in after the deadly winter storm left.
“Least we could do is open this furniture store to let people come into a warmer place. Sofas and plenty available TVs, plenty of available mattresses, plenty of available and lots of hot food.”
It’s not the first time Mattress Mack has helped people during natural disasters. In 2017, he transformed some of his Gallery Furniture stores into shelters after Hurricane Harvey. And he did the same in 2005 when many fled Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina.
His giving doesn’t stop there — he often donates furniture to families in need and to makeover teachers’ lounges at local schools.
