HOUSTON — Gallery Furniture has opened its two largest stores here as shelter in the wake of unprecedented flooding from Hurricane Harvey.

On its Facebook page, the Top 100 company said both its flagship North Freeway store and Grand Parkway location in Richmond, Texas, are open “for anyone who is in need.”

“We have food, beds and clean restrooms for anyone in need who comes to those locations,” the post said. “Kenneled animals who must stay in kennel and at owner’s side are welcome.

“Stay safe, God bless you and your family, and may God bless Texas.” The Facebook post had received more than 14,000 likes and 1,900 comments along the lines of this one from Vicki Mancill: “And this is why I am a Gallery Furniture fan. God bless you, Mack. You make Houston proud.”

The retailer, owned by Linda and Jim “Mack” McIngvale, is known for giving back to customers and the community, both through Super Bowl and other sports promotions but also extensive support of area charities. In a separate video on Facebook, Jim McIngvale recalls his daughter’s favorite quote: “If not for my struggle, I would not have known my strength,” and invites anyone to the stores “who needs a place to stay.” He also gives out his cell phone number. As of late morning, the video had received 2.6 million views and 15,000 comments.

Harvey, since downgraded to a tropical storm, dumped 24 inches of rain on the city over two days and another 25 inches could fall by Saturday, according to a CNN report. Houston’s average annual rainfall is 50 inches.
