Groundbreaking Ceremony Held for New Gallery Furniture Fort Bend Showroom

---

Gallery Furniture, one of Houston’s most beloved landmarks, officially broke ground on the new Gallery Furniture Fort Bend/Grand Parkway on Tuesday, June 3rd.

Jim “Mack” McIngvale, owner of Gallery Furniture, along with Keenon Rayner of Identity Architects, Dave Cannon of Trend Development, Fort Bend County Precinct 4 Commissioner James Patterson and Yvonne Tuttle Streit of The Brookwood Community, were on hand to welcome Gallery Furniture to the Long Meadow Farms and Fort Bend County community.  Festivities included a special appearance from the Brookwood Community hand bell choir and ended with a surprise skywriter that landscaped the Houston skies with #gfgp, a social media hashtag that will lead to information and renderings for the new Gallery Furniture location.

The store, which will be the third and largest Gallery Furniture location in Houston, is expected to open in late November/December and will be located at The Market at Long Meadow Farms at 7301 W. Grand Parkway South in Richmond.  The new showroom is located next to the Santikos Palladium theater.

Plans for the 165,000 square foot showroom include amenities such as an indoor playground and tree house for children and a full service restaurant. The new Gallery Furniture will also include an area where residents of The Brookwood Community for disabled adults will sell their products. Services available also include Gallery Movers, a full-service moving company that utilizes the stores’ highly trained and meticulous delivery staff.

Since 1981, Gallery Furniture has grown from a neighborhood store to the largest furniture retailer per square foot in America by putting the customer first, living up to the promise to “Save You Money” and delivering quality furniture, mattresses and home electronics “today.”  With two current locations in Houston, the original location at 6006 North Freeway and the newest location at 2411 Post Oak Blvd at Westheimer, Gallery Furniture features a wide selection of the best names in the industry such as Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Sealy Posturpedic, Mayo, United Leather, American Leather, Lane, Broyhill, HGTV Home Furniture Collection and more. Committed to offering customers the best service and an entertaining family atmosphere, Gallery Furniture is more than a store; it’s made in America.
