In Lauderdale, FL there was a walk-up chinese place called Takee Outy. I still giggle when I think of it.
Worst store name ever: There’s a hair salon (term used loosely) that has given itself the name “Hack n Whack Hair Shack.”

If memory serves, in the Adams Morgan area of DC, there’s a bar by the name of Madam’s Organ about which I’ve heard several remarks and chuckles.
Never saw that movie, but it’s definitely the name of the hair salon in The Blues Brothers, 1979.
While I’m personally not sure about The Blues Brothers (which I haven’t seen in years,) but I can vouch for an appearance of Curl Up and Dye in Earth Girls Are Easy, which I have seen within the past several months.

I had to go in also, alas, they are all salt, but have a very good reputation among salt water aquarists.
My favorite aquarium shop in Miami was “Some Things Fishy”
“Pats Ho-Made” BBQ sauce always cracked me up, I just envisioned all these skanky ho’s toiling away over boiling sauce.
I swear to God, I am going to plan a road trip tomorrow. I must see this shop. “Ichthy!!!” That’s effing hot!
Thanks for sharing. If they ever go out of buisiness, I am going to steal their name and go into the fishy buisiness.
I don’t know if it was the name of the shop or not, but I saw a health food store in Japan with a sign out front that said “Flesh Juice”.
There’s a small sporting goods store in Oakville, Ontario called The Merchant of Tennis.
Thank you! I’m so glad not to be alone in my opinion on that.

Furniture company: Sofa So Good. I’ve always liked that one.
When visiting Bath, England, I passed some scaffolding that had a sign for the construction company…
Bath Erections
We got a good ol’ touristy chuckle out of that one.
Sac City, Iowa has a liquor store. The Sac Liquor Store. The proprietor was proud to have his picture taken in front of the sign.
My favorites are still “Much Ado About Muffins” and “Clothes, but No Cigar”.
