On Thursday, Gallery Furniture owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale led the media on a tour of his eighty-thousand square foot warehouse that was destroyed in a massive fire.
While stepping over the charred debris and melted metal, Mattress Mack vowed that he would rebuild, and turn evil into good.
Evil is how he refers to the massive fire that investigators say was intentionally set on May 21, 2009.
He plans to reopen the showroom by July 4, and the rest of the property will reopen in phases.
Mack hopes the warehouse will be renovated by his 59th birthday, which is February 11, 2010.
