Re: RUNHAPPY's never-ending promotional efforts... (655 Views)

This is not surprising to me as a former resident of Houston Texas. Runhappy is owned by James "Mattress Mac" McIngvale who was/is a master promoter of his Houston furniture business and grew it from scratch to a multi-million dollar operation in just a few years. I still have a kitchen table & chairs I bought from him in the early 1990's. Funny thing was that his promotion was that if you buy any "real wood" furniture from him, he'd throw in a real wood major league baseball bat. So the bat I got was an official Rickey Henderson model, the guy who was my least favorite MLB player at the time. I was very disappointed but I still have the bat, but I've let the dogs chew on it over the years.
