Actual weird store names from where you live.

I always thought it was funny because until recently, the one on Route 17 was right next to Skinner’s Nuts. :smiley:

When I lived in Hobart, IN there was a local watering hole not far from my house called The He Ain’t Here Lounge.

I really hope this qualifies. It’s all I’ve been able to think of. We were traveling through Arlington, Virginia on our way north and chose to go into town to a well-known restaurant from our motel out by the interstate. On the way there we passed Campbell’s Funeral Home. This was not weird by itself, but whoever had designed and executed their sign must have had a think for Campbell’s soup, because the lettering was a direct copy of that used on the soup labeling. We laughed at that until we were about to pass out.

I think my two favorite stores with weird names are in Hull, England. There’s a clothing store called F.C.U.K (which is all over the UK I assume, but the one I saw was in Hull) and then a smaller local women’s clothing store called Hussy.

I got my sister a shirt that has “FCUK in Hull” typed on the front of it (my parents were not pleased…we thought it was hilarious though)…and my favorite part was the bag it came in which declared “FCUK Sale.”

Campbell’s soup is made from Soylent Green!

Another weird NC business: somewhere between Knightdale and Raleigh there’s a place called Well, Well Drilling.

All IIRC:
In Hong Kong there is a store called Sogos that sells ‘Papa Beard’s Piping hot Pastries’. They were actually cold. You could see the flecks, of what I assumed, was real vanilla bean in the creampuffs, Yum.

There is a store on Hollywood road in HK with the name of ‘Tak Kee’. It sells antique furniture.

In otherwise buttoned-down Des Moines, IA, you can find the Flatt Tire Center and the Dick Pharmacy.

Stratford, CT, is home to Blase Manufacturing. I can’t imagine this is the best possible name for a maker of precision metal stampings. (“Your ball bearings don’t fit? Yeah, tell me about it.”)

A little hole of a bar called The Office

Female: “Why are you so late getting home?”
Male: “Oh man, I had to spend the last 3 hours at The Office!”

We have **Tacoma Screw ** and **What the Pho ** in my neck of the woods.

In college, our bar was called The Library. :smiley:

There’s a bar named Tipsy McStagger’s on Roncesvalles in Toronto. I get a kick out of it every time I visit my brother.

I keep seeing billboards that have pictures of lions roaring or other animals looking vicious advertising for Killman Zoo :eek:

Tempting, but no thanks

Piggly Wiggly is a very old grocery store company here in the south; not many left.

They were bought out by the H.E. Butt (HEB) grocery store company and they’re now called Wiggly Butt stores. :smiley:

Here in Tempe, there’s a bar/restaurant called The Library, the walls lined with shelves of old books. The girls who work there dress in sexy schoolgirl uniforms or naughty librarian outfits. It’s downstairs from Hooter’s.
Up in Scottsdale, there’s a store called Paddy O’Furniture.

In the strange juxtaposition category, we have the little place just down the road from our new house, Mayo Thai Kitchen and Donuts.

But for hilarious, there were my favorites from southern Japan: The big signs for the windsurfing equipment company, Break Wind, and my all-time favorite delivery company whose name was writ large (in English) on their trucks, Lapid Expless.

There used to be a store in my town that sold ceiling fans and other household items. The store’s name was Enervations. I stopped in once and had a chat with the manager, and sure enough, she thought that “enervate” was a synonym for “energize.”

The store is gone now. See what happens when you piss off The Language Police?

Reminds me of the burger place in Venice, CA, called The Cow’s End.

In my own neighborhood we have a Tapioca Express, so I know where to go for all my tapioca needs.

Santa Monica has a bar named Father’s Office, and another one called The Library Alehouse.

We have a place here in the DFW area called ''In & Out Lube". It’s a quickie oil change place. :wink:
