Gallery Furniture Opens Third and Largest Showroom in Houston Area

---

Gallery Furniture, one of Houston’s most recognized retailers, officially opened its third store on Wednesday, July 1st at 7227 West Grand Parkway South in Fort Bend County.

Owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale and his wife, Linda, worked closely with architects to translate his decades of retail experience into a design that will delight and surprise customers, giving them a shopping experience like no other. At 165,000 square feet, the Grand Parkway store is not only the largest Gallery Furniture showroom, it’s also the largest steel building project ever completed in Houston-based Whirlwind Steel Building Systems Inc.’s 60 year history.

In addition to the store’s huge inventory of made-in-America furniture, the showroom offers new collections, including an exclusive William Stubbs Collection designed by acclaimed designer Bill Stubbs, who has been named one of Architectural Digest’s Top Designers and Architects for years.

To further McIngvale’s philosophy of capitalism with a cause, one of the main beneficiaries of Gallery Furniture Grand Parkway is The Brookwood Community, a non-profit residential facility and vocational program for adults with disabilities. The McIngvales have donated an entire section of the store to the Brookwood citizens to sell their personally crafted products.

The store also provides customers with a unique and entertaining shopping experience through featured amenities including:

• A 20,000 square-foot atrium with monkeys, birds, ever-changing floral masterpieces initially designed and installed by world renowned floral designer Jeff Leatham and the largest indoor living wall in Texas with more than 11,000 plants.

• A 30,000 gallon saltwater aquarium featuring a variety of fish, including blacktip and zebra sharks.

• Brick & Mortar Kitchen, a full-service restaurant, bar and bakeshop with a separate entrance and outdoor seating.

 

“This store has been a dream come true for my family and me,” McIngvale said. “I couldn’t think of a better community to be joining, and the entire Gallery Furniture team looks forward to serving the outstanding families of Fort Bend County.”

Gallery Furniture Grand Parkway is located at 7227 W. Grand Parkway South in Richmond. The store is open daily from 10 am to 10 pm. For more information about Gallery Furniture, visit www.galleryfurniture.com.
