A Message from Mattress Mack to the people of Houston
THANK YOU, H-TOWN.
Thank you Astros
Thank you to my wife, Linda.
Thank you, EVERYONE
The last 41 years of my life have been the greatest years of my life, no question.
It’s an honor and a privilege to serve all of you every day.
From the annual Christmas giveaways, taking pictures daily with fellow Houstonians and Texans at Gallery Furniture North Freeway, refunding tens of millions of dollars since we started these promotions, from Hurricane Harvey to Hurricane Imelda to the winter ice storm and everything in between —
You’ve always been there for me, for your neighbor, for your community, for our city, for our state, for our country, and I’m grateful to you. With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, I’m sincerely grateful to you.
I love Houston. As I’ve said in many speeches, Linda and I sacrificed in many ways to try to be the best leaders for the community, for the city, for our employees, and for our children that we could. Thank you to my children, and thank you to my Gallery Furniture family. I love all of you, and I wouldn’t be who I am without YOU. All of you.
Thank you to my parents, who I know are smiling down on me and us from Heaven. Thank you to my brother George, who I know is also smiling down on me and us from Heaven and with whom I’m so proud to share this victory. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters, thank you to ALL OF YOU – we share this victory together.
This last week has been especially… beyond words.
An incident that was just me trying to defend my city, and our team galvanized the city.
It’s beyond words my gratitude for all of you always having my back. What can I say?
I love y’all. I love this city. I would do anything for this city, and I would do anything for you.
I’m so proud to be part of this city and will ALWAYS stand up for you for what’s right, and like in Harvey, Imelda, and more will always do my best to act QUICKLY and on the side of the people.
I love y’all. I could go on and on.
God bless you; God bless your family; God bless Houston; God bless Texas and
GOD BLESS OUR HOUSTON ASTROS!
Sincerely,
Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale

Thank you with the deepest sincerity Jim Aka “The MAC” for being who you really are, the most generous and nicest human being that is! Houston appreciates you for what you stand for. I’ve bought all my furniture from your store and will continue to do so for many years to come. Thank you for being there for us Houstonians and serving Houston the way that you do! We love you from the bottom of our hearts without a doubt.
Thank you for everything you do Jim “Mattres Mac” McIngvale. You are a hero to our city, and ask that God bless you always.
Thank-you for being the person whom you are, generous and kind. I have been a customer of your’s in the past and will continue to be so in the future. Your attitude and actions are very important today, as our country is divided and contentious.
