Northwestern should drop at least 50 spots in the university prestige rankings because of him. I simply cant take them seriously if Rovell is what they're putting out.
It’s different state to state, but it’s likely illegal for him to place the bet from Texas no matter who takes the bet.
he is no average joe. his mattress shop has restaurants and a zoo. it’s like a theme park. guy is worth almost $100 million
not to go all Rowell, but did he make money or inherit it elsewhere? cannot imagine being worth $100m just by selling mattresses
I think a lot of them are still pretty "strict" about having to be a resident of that state, to not bet in person.
pretty sure he did this all on his own. he is a legend in the houston area and people love him. it is more than just mattresses he sells in his store fwiw
Mattress Mack is his nickname because that’s what got him started in the retail industry. He owns Gallery Furniture (remember the bowl back in the day) which has 3 locations in Houston. It’s the furniture store in the Houston/South Texas area. He also was one of the first furniture/mattress stores in the country to offer same day or next day delivery.
Clearly user Boo MFer! doesn’t know that Pantone 186C is statistically proven to generate 3% fewer clicks than Pantone 187C. One of the biggest items Coca Cola changed when it switched its primary ad agencies was to Pantone 187C. That led to Northwestern legend James K Thomas, IV winning ad man of the year in 2016.
His stores gross $200 mil a year and he makes more per square foot of retail space than any other furniture retailer in the nation
