Funny/catchy business names

[vivalostwages]

While looking for a listing in the phone book, I came across a couple of memorable business names:

I'll Haul Away What the Trashman Won't

I'll Buy That Old Car

There's also a local clothing store called Funky and Damnearnew.

[El_Kabong]

Name of a trash haulage company in Harare, Zimbabwe:

Waste Away

Last week in Houston, I was passed by a vehicle with the words Ball Restoration emblazoned on the side.

Speaking of trucks.....I crack up every time I see the bakery truck for Bimbo Bread.

[AzRaek]

There used to be a fantasy/sci-fi/RPG bookstore here called Nightreaders. oooh, scary!

[MannyL]

Name on a body reapir shop- Wreck O Mend

[VDarlin]

I don't know if it's there anymore, but there used to be a restaurant in Charleston, SC by the name of "Fonduely yours".

As for the Bimbo bread trucks, I think they're great. It's kind of sad, though, that I am so used to seeing them, and seeing the products in the store, that I've become a bit immune to it. My boyfriend is moving here soon, and he has a commercial drivers license, and may look for a driving job, to start with, while he finishes his education. I told him that he really needs to apply with Bimbo - what a great company to say you work for, have their name on your paychecks, and your work shirts.

Of course, he told me that if he did, that he'd make me wear one of his work shirts, every now and then, out in public.

Of course, I would, gladly!

A Local removal company is called "Humpit's", and all their vans have the slogan "We'll hump anything!"

note for non-brits: 'Hump' is used to mean both 'carry a heavy object' and 'have sex', but not often at the same time....

In Lewiston, Idaho, there is a hair salon called 'American Hairways'. And I don't know how big the chain is, but there is a moving business here called 'Two Guys and a Truck'. I also see a van around town, I forget what the company does, but it's called 'Fuch's'.

[TheLoadedDog]

"Brisbane's Worst Vegetarian Restaurant"
- it's a steakhouse.

"Cleanliness is Next to Godliness"
- A Sydney cleaning supplies shop next door to a religious supplies one.

"Gosford Shoplifters"
- a shopfitting company.

[Racer1]

I know of a company who sell and sevice air conditioners who are called "Stiff Nipples".

I can provide a link to a picture of one of their vans if requested, but I won't just post it here as it is on an adult humour site that could offend some people.

[Fern Forest]

In the vast array of inn puns in inns my absolute favorite has remained The Cat Dragged Inn.

[longjohn]

A local catering business that delivers snacky food to your parties:

"Entrees on Trays"

Cracks me up every time.

However, barber shops with punny names make me shudder.

[madcat]

Ace Radiator Repair in Waukegan,IL. Their business name isn't funny but their slogan is:"A Great Place To Take a Leak"

[Big G]

Here in Newark, DE there's a heavy equipment rental place called "Hire-a-Hoe". Interestingly, it's right next to a church.

[NurseCarmen]

A hair shop in the twin cities named "Curl up and dye"

Here in NC we used to have Buckner Steel Erection, but they've since eliminated the last word. We still have Carolina Stump Grinders. I always imagine their slogan being said with a wink of the eye: "We reach where other's can't".

There's also the Irregardless Cafe and Sub Conscious Subs.

[photopat]

I know it's not really a funny name, but every time I see the Borg Warner building in Chicago I imagine Bugs Bunny with cybernetic implants saying "Eeh, prepare to be assimilated Doc."

[erfernan]

There is an electrical company in Seattle that has "We'll remove your shorts" on all of their vans.

And one of my favorite eatin' spots recently burned down. It was a BBQ place called Rooter's.

I was in Australia last week and noticed a number of oriental eateries called, in keeping with the "inn" puns, "Wokon Inn". That name makes me feel welcome...

About twenty-five years ago there used to be a science fiction bookshop in London called "Dark they were and golden eyed."

Cool or what.

I've seen a moving service in NYC called "Schleppers". If you don't know from schlep, it won't make much sense to you, but this is New York, where even the Norwegians speak at least that much Yiddish.

There's also a chimney service in my community called "Swimney Cheep." I always thought that was clever, as it makes you think a little, and it also implies their services are affordable.

[Missy2U]

Barbershop right down the street from my office - "Best Head"

[zev_steinhardt]

I still get a kick everytime I see a truck with
G.O.D.
on the side of it. Stands for Guaranteed Overnight Delivery.

We have here a pet supply store shaped like a huge doghouse. It even has a Starbucks attached to it. Pet sitting, pet massage ("I'll gladly rub your pussy!") and even pet aromatherapy. Pets are not sold there, but they are allowed everywhere.

The name of this fine place? Doggiestyles. Their T-shirts have pawprints on the shoulders

[SpazCat]

In Greenville, NC there is a barbershop/salon-type thing called Human Hair Beauty Supply.

I've seen those Two Guys and a Truck guys around here too. It's such a friendly sounding name.

Similarly, back home in Hawaii there's a "Dew Drop Inn", which I think is pretty and punny.

I've seen them around here too. I thought those two guys (even though there are usually three guys) were really really busy as I saw the truck everywhere. Never occured to me that it could be a chain.
