Funny or just plain odd business names

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

This might have been done before, but lord knows, there are always new oddities out there to discover…

I just saw a seafood market called T&A Seafood.

But that wasn’t even the funniest one. There was a truck rental place near it called Suppose U Drive. It seems bland at first, but the more I think about it, it’s an unusual but catchy name for a business. If you ran a buffet, you could call it Suppose U Chow Down. Or a school: Suppose U Learn. Or…?

There’s also the nearby offices of Chew Dental (I love that one).

Contributions, please.

I used to work for a place with SAC as its acronym… we always found that one funny to use for advertising ideas…

also… I find the name Bill and Harry’s a very odd Chineese Food name… great food though…

3

There is a place near my work, I drive past it on “coffee runs”, it’s called “ISA PUR Supermarket”

Kills me, EVERY time!

4

They’ve since changed their name, dammit, but there used to be an El Paso Gas Company.

And there’s a demolition company in Baltimore—I can’t remember the company name, but their slogan is, “We Destroy Everything We Touch!”

5

We have a furniture store called Wood U

And then there’s the chinese restaurnt Wok n’ Roll
In Jacksonville there’s also a Chinee Takee Outee restaurant

6

I once bought a hot dog at “Eat It and Beat It”. Ooooooh…It was soooo hot!

7

There’s a restaurant in Torrance, CA, near where I used to live, called “Leave Me Alone.” Closely related is the bar north of Dubois, PA on Route 219 called “Don’t Know Tavern.”

My favorite one was the sign on I-110 north of San Pedro, CA, advertising “Aggressive Erections.” I hope it was for a construction company.

8

We have a funeral home in the next town over that goes by the name of Bruce & Stiff.

9

There’s a “Pane in the Glass” stained glass studio down the road from my house.

10

There is a Fish Restaurant on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast called the Sanitary Fish Market…eww.

I have never liked Ruth’s Chris Steak House - it just makes no sense, even after I learned the story (lady named Ruth buys a place called Chris’ Steak House, is more successful, opens up a chain of them, but has an ego, so decides to call them, you guessed it “Ruth’s Chris Steak House”…

11

in my hometown, there is a funeral home named Boxwell Bros.

also, here in Austin there is a junk/thrift/resale store called Austin Found LOVE IT!!

12

There’s a liquor store about 2 miles from my house called Bunghole Liquors. You’ve probably seen the picture of it circling around the 'net.

13

A couple from Los Angeles:

Culver City Meat Company’s trucks deliver all over the city - with their slogan proudly emblazoned on their sides in large letters: You Can’t Beat Our Meat!

A hair salon in Burbank: The Best Little Hairhouse in Burbank.

14

Any construction company with the word Erections in its name. (We have one here.)

I know of a highway convenience store/gas station named Please Stop!

15

On the north shore of Chicago, I saw a van driving around. They were a chimney sweep/carpet cleaning service. . .

called Ashwipes.

I’m totally looking them up when I get my chimney cleaned.

In the NW 'burbs, there’s a few hair salons called Best Head

16

I’ve seen a hair salon called Curl Up and Dye around here, although I suspect this one isn’t quite so original.

There’s a coffee shop called Brewed Awakenings.

Also, in some small town about 90 miles from here is a roadside tavern called Don’t Ask Bar. I imagine this name came about when people would ask their friends where they’re going and they’d reply, “Don’t Ask.”

17

I’ve seen the “Suppose U Drive” trucks, too. I always thought they should go one better and call themselves, “What? You want I should drive?”

18

There’s a Chinese restaurant near my place with the name of Insomnia karaoke Restaurant. I have NO idea what’s up with the name. As my sister said when I told her about it: “Aiya… what kind of clientele do they want?” My brother thought it was a hilarious mistranslation… perhaps, but I don’t know if I want to eat there!

On the highway between Panama City and Colon there is an eating establishment that made me double-take the first time I saw it: the Dago Restaurant.

One of the main supermarket chains here is called Casa de la Carne (Meat House) (the English translation is included in the signs.)

Local iInsurance company:
Bare and Sweat

(actually spelled Swett, but pronounced sweat)
Been trying to think of a slogan for them…
