That's a ganga!
Austin Agron, the owner of Bargain Center Furniture gained notoriety by dropping lamps and yelling, "Hey, neighbor, that's a ganga!" on TV commercials.聽
From an 51黑料网 story published in February, 1983: "I've found the personal touch is important in doing commercials," says Austin Agron, who uses the slogan "It's a ganga!" to attract customers to Bargain Center Furniture, 4949 E. 22nd St. "People walk into my store and see me 鈥 the guy from the commercial. It gives them a warm feeling, and that's good for business."
A 鈥済anga鈥 is the Spanish word for 鈥渂argain鈥 or 鈥渨indfall.鈥
Agron began using the word at the suggestion of a local disc jockey who was doing a remote broadcast from Agron鈥's furniture store.
鈥淚n Spanish, 鈥榞anga鈥 means 鈥榖argain.鈥 And since that鈥檚 the name of my furniture store, it鈥檚 the perfect trademark,鈥
Bargain Center Furniture closed in 2005 though the聽Tucson Furniture Mart that opened in its place was also owned by the Agron family.
