He’s in his store every morning talking to his sales staff. His wife runs an animal refuge/tennis club and can be found planting the greenery around the club. They’re incredibly down to earth people.
Yes they do. I’m from Houston and this is a great man. When ever anything happens they come out strong. Letting people sleep in the store when we flood or giving away free furniture away to people in need. He came and talked to my school and spoke to us.
His house in Austin is so big you’d think it’s the Wayne mansion from Batman. It’s on a lake I got to work on his docks and his neighbors docks. Fix them, install boat lifts. It was fun
@stevenwilliams7549 he has helped veterans. Usually, he has a Veterans Day sale for military and other general stuff outside his company. He really is just an all around decent human being.
Oh hell yeah he is a great guy. I grew up in Houston and when I was 10 my dad had worked for him as a truck driver for a few years and suddenly passed away. He not only paid for the funeral but he also paid to have my father cremated as well as flying his body back from where my father passed away at. He also gave us free tickets to a Houston rockets game and a bunch of other stuff too that I can't really remember. It's been almost 25 years since then and I'll always remember him for that as well as his commercials he used to have on TV.
Codie, I live in Houston, and let me tell you, this guy has the biggest heart ever. He's wealthy and has the biggest furniture stores in the city and he helps the community like you have no idea. When politicians, mega church pastors and other wealthy figures refused to open their doors for houstonians that were in need during disasters, this man stepped forward all the time and helped out. We love him so much.
You do realize that Lakewood church does not have beds,mattress,etc for evacuees. Maybe you’ll understand this analogy; if you had lots of family members that unexpectedly came to your house for evacuation,would you have room for them,feed them,have beds,etc for them???? Lots of logistics are involved in housing evacuees. Food,restrooms,showers,security have to be provided.
@@ixlr8395 You say it as if a furniture shop has all the food and rooms for them. Megachurch has like 1000x more resources and manpower than a small shop like this guy. In fact in FEMA housing plan for congregate shelter, churches are listed as one of the shelter for major disaster. This is what Osteen said during storm Allison, “We’re not selling hamburgers, man. You ain’t gonna buy from us instead of McDonald’s. Go to the place you should go to, which is the Red Cross centre … we weren’t the best shelter to go to,”
I bought a leather chair from his store during the “If the Astros win you get 2X back”. Later that afternoon it was delivered, and later that evening Mattress Mack called me personally to check if everything was ok. I told him I really appreciated everything he did during Hurricane Harvey (he let displaced people stay in his furniture stores, then donated all of the furniture to people that lost everything) and it was a pleasure buying from him. He’s a class act all the way. By the way, Astros won the World Series and I got a check for twice what I paid for the chair.
Mattress Mack is good people. During Harvey he opened doors on his locations to let all those affected by the flood waters have somewhere to stay, pets included! He was even there handing out food, water and blankets. Truly a gem and a cherished person in the Houston area, we love this guy.
He is an amazing man. His generosity has no end. He would literally give the clothes off his back if someone needed it. My husband and I lived in the Houston area for 12 years and he is constantly giving.
I live not far from his first store! Mattress Mac is a God send to the city of Houston, he gives back so much to the people. During Hurricane Ike he opened his stores and allowed people to sleep on the furniture. He does good giveaways and donates to multiple local charities. He is an amazing man.
@@Pearl-_Perla they said he was a god send NOT god! So tell me is manipulating peoples words just to give yourself a Segway in order to promote your own selfish agenda is that god too?

I love to come to the comments to find this man is an actual national treasure in Texas. Next time I'm in Houston I know where to visit. We need more great people like this! Mattress mack!!

He started in an old circus tent, selling cheap furniture. He's now a furniture manufacturer that still works 7 days a week and gives millions of dollars to Houston and the surrounding areas. He feeds the poor, he raises millions for every disaster, gives to first responders and veterans, and will open his stores for displaced people to sleep on all the furniture on the showroom floor.
He’s a good man. Met him many times. Moved to Utah since then. Then when I saw what he did during Katrina and Harvey and Ida and ever right now after Ian. It brings tears to my eyes. He is a hell of a man. He spends an INSANE amount of money helping people.
This man truly bless people. He has used his stores as storm shelters for the people. Never asked for anything from anyone. A true giver that’s why he is also blessed
My family and I moved to Sugarland TX in 1987. Over the next 25 years, in the greater Houston Area and also when we later moved to the DFW area, we bought all our furniture from him. He is famous for the charity he engages in. Truly a wonderful individual and a Great Texan.
I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back when we were buying a table. He came out to help us like he was just another employee. An absolutely amazing man, and a model for everyone in Houston. He works hard, is smart, caring, and always puts others first, that is a real Texan, and a real Christian right there.
Love Mack! My family bought a bunch of furniture from him back in the 90s and at the time, he still met with every family that came in to his store. I met him when he was already a millionaire, but he's still so true to his roots and principles. There's a reason Houston loves this man.
this man is the BEST.....I went to him for a silent auction for a drug program for teens; this dude loaded us up with merch, certificates AND fully furnished the meeting rooms we had 🌐🥴🌎 THIS MAN IS AMAZING
That's fantastic! I have 12 years now clean.. IV heroin user, proud to say it's people and events like that which kept me going in my first years of sobriety. I'm sure it made a HUGE difference in the lives of your community members. I tip my proverbial hat to you, kudos! ✌
He's also one of the best people on the planet. He's opened up stores to victims of hurricanes and floods while Lakewood Church shuttered their doors. I knew someone who worked for him. He spoils his employers with concert and sports tickets. He does so much charity work. He deserves every penny he gets.
Nicest man on earth he’s usually there at gallery furniture every time I’ve gone and hangs out and talks with everyone he lives a few minutes a way from my house really down to earth
I interviewed Mattress Mac for my high school newspaper in 1989. As busy as he was, I interviewed him one on one for an hour. He said he doesn't care if people think he's crazy because they keep giving him money while they call him crazy.
He is arguably the most charitable man in the country. He deserves everything he has!! I grew up in Houston watching this man literally competing with himself to give away everything he has!
He is a Houston home town legend. I lived there during hurricane Harvey and then cold snaps that knocked out power. That man opened his furniture to anyone that needed place that was dry or warm. That's a great man there.
That dudes is Amazing. They need to make a movie about him. He Gives so much to people. He came as an Immigrant with his wife. and Very little money to eat. And Now Makes Thanksgiving dinners and gives stuff away all year. Millions. Great man
He’s such a huge asset to Houston & he does so much for our city all year long. He opened his furniture store to people in need of a place to sleep during Hurricane Harvey. He’s a hero to so many.
comments made this even better. Instantly if I needed something in the area it would be no question where to go. Not even the hedge, just him standing out and being an awesome person.
Seriously! I can’t stop watching anything you put out there! You’re my favorite ever and I’m gonna go from zero to hero because of you! Thanks for being you!
Born and raised Houstonian here and him and his family give a ton of money to the city and surrounding area, they are great people been here forever hope they don't ever leave. ❤️
He is a legend. Everything he wins goes to help people in Houston. I haven't been to the store in the time I've lived here but I've heard he actually just hangs out in the store talking to people, and he's known to randomly just donate furniture sets to those in need
My dad back in the early 2000’s worked multiple jobs for Mack down in Houston dealing with insurance fraud claims and things of that nature. He always told me growing up that despite the millions of dollars he made he is one of the most down to earth and wholesome people he’s ever met.
He is a marketing genius. His first add after making a little profit was him holding a handful of cash jumping up and down screaming Gallery furniture really will save you money. That was 35 40 years ago and everyone thought he was crazy and anyone in Houston that even mentioned furniture thought of the crazy guy jumping up and down with a bunch of money. Plus every time I've gone there he was at the front door and greeted me. Great guy.
@@frep420 that's why you bet two chips on each one of those numbers every spin along with the red and black. Don't forget you got to put a stack on 32 and surround 32 get the corners and the street and bed even. And bed red. And don't forget 2425 and 27 and 16 and 19 split and bet the 0 00,2 basket and close your eyes and drop chips on the belt and wherever they land you bet those two. And in Keno you wipe your butt with the Keno ticket blank and whatever poop smears on those numbers those are the numbers you bet
Everyone here in Houston loves him! he opens the store during floods for the homeless and people whose houses were destroyed to have a place to stay. he also has a free vocational school with daycare for people to leave their kids who go to the school!
After moving to California people often ask me if I miss anything from Texas. He is one of the 4 “things” I miss. Even after 16 years. If Mr Roger decided to open a mattress store in another dimension you couldn’t tell them apart
Mattress Mack is probably the single most helpful and charitable guy in Houston. He’s given more than I can write here to the people of Houston. He deserves a giant monument. Holidays. The works.
I used to work a lot with charity foundations for their fundraiser galas. Mack and Linda(his wife) are at almost all of those galas and Mack is often the guy who's pushing other philanthropists to commit more. He's a genuinely good dude.
This guy is a pillar in Houston. When it floods or hurricane comes through. He offers up his stores as a shelter and gives free furniture to people that lost.
I'm wondering as well. It almost sounds like he gouges his customers so that he can bet their money on a very small possibility, and if he wins he gives them their money back.
@@farfromirrational He doesn't gouge anyone. He bets on a Houston team like the Astros and then promotes a deal so that if they win, all his customers do as well. They get their money back but is paid for by his bet. If they lose he takes the loss on the bet but gains from the advertising and additional sales from the promotion.
He takes the money people are already going to spend and places a wager. If he wins, they win and he gives them money back on their purchase. If he loses, they still have what they bought.
okay so the guy Mac runs promotions where certain big purchases are refunded if certain teams win. Since that promotion would cost a lot of money if the team wins, he bets money on that team winning. If the team wins, he gets paid and refunds his customers, if they lose then he just collects profits from the furniture sale
@@ya9412 he loses the bet but he gains a ton in furniture sales from running the promotion because essentially his customers that all bought 3k or more in furniture lost their bet to him.
Yes but to offset a 10 million dollar bet he would have to sell like 50 million dollars worth of furniture to actually profit the 10 million dollars to cover the bet. How is that even possible to sell that much furniture? Something doesn’t add up.
That gentleman doesn't "lose" money. His commercials are obnoxious but he's a marketing genius and he's crazy generous when the chips are down for the city of Houston.
Live in houston and he always always always helps everyone in our town if any hurricane or bad weather. At Christmas he would give away an entire house of furniture to people who wrote in and they would pick 25 families... he rocks
I don't live too far from his furniture store, (maybe 10-15 min) and I'll never forget during Hurricane Harvey his store was literally the first public place we heard day 1 of the floods to immediately get the word out and offer shelter 24/7 open to anyone,families, disaster worker's, emergency medical personnel. Not one thought of anyone possibly abusing that generosity (the way some cynical jerks were criticizing him for taking the "risk") and not only did zero theft occur but it was beautiful and inspiring how much they were all taking care of everyone in turn at the store.. I won't forget the pictures of the EMT's and firefighters etc sleeping on those very mattresses ❤️❤️❤️
He is an awesome guy. Always gives back to the community. He has given during Harvey and covid. Of course part of it is about business, but I also think he is genuine with giving back to the community.
This guy is a saint. I used to work in horse racing and he owns a horse named Run Happy. This horse had a damn entourage of people following him around Saratoga including a spiritual advisor. He's always doing things like opening his stores to flood victims and things like that..

And in Keno you wipe your butt with the Keno ticket blank and whatever poop smears on those numbers those are the numbers you bet
Mattress Mack also opens his store when it floods . Provides food and shelters to any family. A real Houston legend .
Mattress Mack opens his furniture store during disasters to shelter those in need. Can't say the same thing for that Joel Osteen guy.
You obviously don’t know the logistics involved in housing evacuees.
Gallery Furniture had beds,etc available.
Lakewood doesn’t….
@@ixlr8395 Lakewood had dry ground and thousands of chairs
Not a single celebrity comes close to this man’s loving reputation 🙏
The world needs more Mattress Mack’s
Hello...codie.... Very interesting... Please make long video on him and explain how he promotes his company...
Everyone here in Houston loves him! he opens the store during floods for the homeless and people whose houses were destroyed to have a place to stay. he also has a free vocational school with daycare for people to leave their kids who go to the school!
He's also an awesome Philanthropist
from what I read he is a very kind of generous person but from what I've seen he's also extremely smart.
Dude just played the game with what he had and played it well 👌
I love a comment section like this !! Salute to you mattress Mack !
After moving to California people often ask me if I miss anything from Texas. He is one of the 4 “things” I miss. Even after 16 years. If Mr Roger decided to open a mattress store in another dimension you couldn’t tell them apart
Now THAT’S a true compliment!!!!! 😲😲😲
Mattress Mack is probably the single most helpful and charitable guy in Houston. He’s given more than I can write here to the people of Houston. He deserves a giant monument. Holidays. The works.
I used to work a lot with charity foundations for their fundraiser galas. Mack and Linda(his wife) are at almost all of those galas and Mack is often the guy who's pushing other philanthropists to commit more. He's a genuinely good dude.
This guy is a pillar in Houston. When it floods or hurricane comes through. He offers up his stores as a shelter and gives free furniture to people that lost.
This is way above my pay grade, can someone put this in layman’s terms for me maybe?
She explained it really poorly
I'm wondering as well. It almost sounds like he gouges his customers so that he can bet their money on a very small possibility, and if he wins he gives them their money back.
@@farfromirrational He doesn't gouge anyone. He bets on a Houston team like the Astros and then promotes a deal so that if they win, all his customers do as well. They get their money back but is paid for by his bet. If they lose he takes the loss on the bet but gains from the advertising and additional sales from the promotion.
@@gyan1010 Nope. It seems that didn't understand it either.
He takes the money people are already going to spend and places a wager. If he wins, they win and he gives them money back on their purchase. If he loses, they still have what they bought.
As a native Houstonian, Mack is a local celebrity and regardless, he's very generous to the community.
I have no idea what she is explaining……. Like literally lost
okay so the guy Mac runs promotions where certain big purchases are refunded if certain teams win. Since that promotion would cost a lot of money if the team wins, he bets money on that team winning. If the team wins, he gets paid and refunds his customers, if they lose then he just collects profits from the furniture sale
so far I' with you.
But doesn't he loose the money he used to place the bet if the team looses?
@@ya9412 he loses the bet but he gains a ton in furniture sales from running the promotion because essentially his customers that all bought 3k or more in furniture lost their bet to him.
Yes but to offset a 10 million dollar bet he would have to sell like 50 million dollars worth of furniture to actually profit the 10 million dollars to cover the bet. How is that even possible to sell that much furniture? Something doesn’t add up.
She didn't explain it very well...
Guy is a Houston Legend. Love him. And he is brilliant for these wagers. His hedges are brilliant.
How is this confusing to you guys? She’s speaking English
It's the numbers. It's 9.5 million dollars and weak minded people can't fathom that dollar amount to get they're head around the hedge concept.
Good man 👨 big heart. Helps people when their in need.
Pay attention to the comments. This is how we all should seek to be spoken of....even in the hate filled internet comment section. Props to Mack!
GREAT Point my Dear ! As always ! You're really giving us FREE IDEAS TO SUCCESS IN THE "REAL REAL WORLD "..
Mack must be a very lovely person, the comments are filled with great comments! We should learn a thing or 2 from Mack.
That gentleman doesn't "lose" money. His commercials are obnoxious but he's a marketing genius and he's crazy generous when the chips are down for the city of Houston.
In Houston, Joel Olstien talks the talk, but Mack walks the walk!
Creative investing, sometimes revenue is not always what is generated but his advertising, building customers. He is smart.
Live in houston and he always always always helps everyone in our town if any hurricane or bad weather. At Christmas he would give away an entire house of furniture to people who wrote in and they would pick 25 families... he rocks
I don't live too far from his furniture store, (maybe 10-15 min) and I'll never forget during Hurricane Harvey his store was literally the first public place we heard day 1 of the floods to immediately get the word out and offer shelter 24/7 open to anyone,families, disaster worker's, emergency medical personnel. Not one thought of anyone possibly abusing that generosity (the way some cynical jerks were criticizing him for taking the "risk") and not only did zero theft occur but it was beautiful and inspiring how much they were all taking care of everyone in turn at the store.. I won't forget the pictures of the EMT's and firefighters etc sleeping on those very mattresses ❤️❤️❤️
He is an awesome guy. Always gives back to the community. He has given during Harvey and covid. Of course part of it is about business, but I also think he is genuine with giving back to the community.
I live in Houston and MAC Is an amazing person who loves this city. We are blessed to have him.
He is a icon. Still works at the store every day. Still gives away ice cream. dude is a walking angel.
This guy is a saint. I used to work in horse racing and he owns a horse named Run Happy. This horse had a damn entourage of people following him around Saratoga including a spiritual advisor. He's always doing things like opening his stores to flood victims and things like that..
