Earlier this week I was privileged to take a sneak peek into the new Nebraska Furniture Mart Texas Store ( #NFMSneakPeek ). This mega furniture store is like both Texans have ever seen.

This place is massive, and I am going to claim it now, someone will get lost opening weekend.

To give you a little insight of the store I have listed below some facts and fun details about the Nebraska Furniture Mart Texas Store.
