Gallery Furniture To Open New Location

Furniture World Magazine

After 27 years in one location, Gallery Furniture announced that it is opening its second location, Gallery Furniture and Rugs, in Houston at Post Oak and Westheimer. The new store, which is scheduled to open before the holidays, will feature an extensive rug and accessories department. Located in the Post Oak Shopping Center in space previously held by Pier One, the store will also feature a new Kreiss Furniture showroom that will occupy the former Pier One Kids. In celebration, Kreiss, well known for their handmade, exclusive furniture and leathers, will debut their 2009 line at the Grand Opening. Gallery Furniture has had only one main location since its inception, the now famous address of 6006 I-45 North between Tidwell and Parker, but after the success of his Highland Village Kreiss store, owner Jim McIngvale began to look for a nearby location that had enough space and parking to accommodate his expansive inventory and also be convenient for customers. “Gallery Furniture has always been known for great service, low prices and same day delivery but in the past few years we have expanded on these qualities with a great selection of furniture including high end pieces” said McIngvale. “The Houston Uptown area is a logical place to continue Gallery’s evolution and we are excited to bring lines like Kreiss and Tempurpedic to the area.”
