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’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. ---

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 😉 ---

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. ---

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. :smack: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funny-catchy-business-names/122690.md?page=1)
