Saves you money!
Last week, the Chronicle's Loren Steffy wrote a nice column on the success of Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale.
Locally, we're so familiar with Mack that we don't always think about how he's built his successful business. As Steffy put it,
Little, though, has been written recently about what's become one of the top 100 furniture businesses in the country as ranked by Furniture Today, an industry publication.Perhaps it's because McIngvale is already an icon of Houston business. He and his story are so well-known that I almost hesitate to write about him for fear of stating the obvious. But his story is worth telling, or perhaps retelling, because it's one of those rare tales in which a small business on a shoestring budget burgeoned into a large and successful enterprise.
Steffy goes on to describe the successful marketer (that we know well) and the successful businessman (that we don't know so well). It's a good read.
