Ok - recently we’ve had threads involving Products With Unfortunate Names, and I thought this thread was necessary after passing a pizza place on the east side
D&C Pizza
My only thought was that they MUST NOT KNOW what a d&c is. Or if they do, thems a buncha sick puppies!!
**F & K Trucking ** is near us.
There’s a B & E Grocery in Victoria.
There is (or was) an OK Sushi in Vancouver. Don’t know about you, but that name was a huge turnoff.
If this counts, outside of Seattle there’s a little strip mall where two side-by-side businesses have their signs in the same colour and IIRC almost the same font. So if you ever need some roses and your back adjusted, feel free to visit the Chiropractic Florist.
There’s Hitler Hussein’s Day Care Center
Okay, I made that up…
While driving through West Texas from Santa Fe late one night, I came over a hill and across this business, which only had the first letters lit up in Red. I laughed my ass off:
Texas
Interstate
Truck
Stop
Of course, that was clearly intentional so I don’t know if it qualifies.
Another one: in Southern Missouri there’s a business that is clearly visible from I-40 called FAG Bearings. Southern Missouri isn’t exactly the best place to expect enlightenment about that sort of thing…
Here you go: My great-grandfather’s last name was Barber - he was a jeweler specializing in watch repair, but he got a lot of people coming into the store for a shave and a haircut.
Also, from Morehead City, NC: The Sanitary Fish Market. I stay away from places that use their name to assure you of the sanitation conditions of the place.
I used to live a couple miles from Hurt Cleaners, one of National Lampoon’s True Facts entries.
I keep seeing trucks driving by that say S&M Trucking. And I’m not even kidding.
There is a hair place where I live called Curl Up & Dye, but I think that’s more clever than unfortunate. 
And I’m sure you’ve all seen this by now…

Dooku, there’s a chain of gas station/restaurant/travel stop places in Indiana. The signs all say “T and A Travel Stop” or something like that. (Tried to find a link - but I was afraid to type that into Google!)
In my hometown there was a little video place in a strip mall called “Rent a Flick”. The only problem was that the letters on the sign were all capital, and the “l” and the “i” were a little too close together, so it looked like
“RENT A F LI CK”
I saw a truck in Ohio that said “Big Dick’s Cleaning Service”.
Then there’s Experts Exchange, with their website,“expertsexchange.com”. Although now that I think of it, they changed it to “experts-exchange.com”.
Dyke’s Lumber and The Divine Hair Salon always give me a smirk. [Divien voice] “I want a pink d.a. with Elvis sideburns!” [/Divine voice]
There was a small chain of dry cleaners in my hometown called Johnson Cleaners. We used to call up when we were kids and ask how much it would cost to get our Johnson’s cleaned.
I’ve seen pictures online of a gas station the “Pump & Munch” but I don’t know if they were doctored. Anyone ever actually seen this place?
Well not so much an unfortunate name as an unfortunate sign.
A jewelers in Richmond, London kept out this sign
GOLD
SCRAP
Unfortunately the right hand side of the sign would often get obscured leading to
OLD
CRAP
being advertised to all who walked past.
There’s a gas station/convenience store here called Kum & Go.
I’ve never been.
Probably inspired by The Blues Brothers movie.
I saw a photo several years ago of a “Kentucky Fried Chicken” sign with some of the neon letters burned out. The sign read:
UCKY
FRIED
ICK
I see trucks with “A. Dewy Pyle” written on them all the time. Not a very appealing image.
The worst ones for this I think are the Funeral Homes. I’ve seen some that just seemed, well, not well thought out. I don’t care if it is your last name, Scar is not a good name for a funeral home.
Also forgot to mention the various businesses in central Oklahoma along Hwy 69. “69 Drive-In”…“69 Cafe”…etc.
In Copenhagen I seem to remember a Kuntzmuseum. Kuntz is Danish for art:dubious:
