Southwest Surplus owner Phil Winterton shares deals you can't miss at his furniture warehouse on N. Shepherd and where all the goods come from.
The furniture comes from four and five-star hotels. When hotels update rooms, the old stuff has to go. This time, owners have to sell everything, and there are bargains to be had. "This is our last hurrah," said Phil Winterton of Southwest Surplus. In a few weeks, everything in a warehouse just off the North Freeway will have to go, and the discounts are deep. For $50, you could get a TV set. For $5, you can get a lamp from the Houstonian. Even the bed frames are replaced during a hotel upgrade and now, these can be had for as little as $10.
