Baltimore Furniture Store Makes Good On Super Bowl Pledge To Give Away Free Furniture

A Baltimore furniture store isn’t bummed that the Ravens won the Super Bowl, but if not for some clutch foresight by its owner, the store might’ve been out $600,000 worth of merchandise. See, the store ran a special promotion to encourage customers to come in and buy items during the Super Bowl: If a kick was returned by the Ravens for a touchdown, all products purchased between Jan. 31 and 3 p.m. on the day of the game would be free.

Cut to the second half of the game against the San Francisco 49ers, when Jacoby Jones returned a kickoff 108 yards for a touchdown. On the line? About $600,000 worth of furniture. Luckily for the store’s co-owner, he’d purchased a $12,000 insurance policy beforehand, just in case.
