Funny or just plain odd business names

the best i have ever seen was a small nondescript office-park laboratory in suburban montreal called “ANALTECH.” There is also a company in or around toronto making radiator parts or ball-bearings or something to that effect called, simply, FAG.

Down the hill from me is Phuket Thai Restaurant.

There’s a place called Metal Shortswhich apparently has something to do with metals and not shorts.

Buffalo Sanitary Wipers always made us laugh. It’s a commercial laundry.

There’s a van I’ve seen twice now in my area. On its side it says, Crapo Appliance Repair.

Here in Ontario there is a business called

:eek:
Cumming Cockburn

:eek:

Gets me every time!

also Bich Nga (there’s one in toronto and supposedly in vancouver) and 1-800-GOT-JUNK? (as in 1-800-YOU-GOT-SOME-DOPE-DUDE?) are pretty unfortunate names. and the LBSH shoe store. no indication of what LBSH might mean. and i’ve seen some restaurants with cute taglines, like madras dosa hut: the excellent dosa place for you! and mr pong’s: home of the awesome jumbo (their car says something to the effect of “awesome! totally rad! bodacious dude!”).

A mile or so from my house is a factory called Standard Nipple Works. Og only knows what they make in there.

I’ve seen a chain of coffee shops around Tokyo named La Derriere.

A coffee shop/restaurant in Tokyo named The Vulgar Cafe (good curry).

A junk/nostalgia/Americana shop in Hamamatsu called The Booby Whoop.

Yesterday, I saw a restaurant in Utsunomiya with a huge sign out front advertising “Stake and Seafood”.

There’s a sensor company called Sick.

I used to know of a robotics company called The Minor Corporation (named after its founder), but I don’t know what happened to them.

Best. Newbie name. Ever.

In Bathurst, Australia (a smallish rural town), while at a conference for queer students, we discovered a shop called “Dykes Dry Cleaning”.

Needless to say, there is now a photo of us outside that shop.

I saw a cleaning van once that said “BIG DICK’S CLEANING SERVICE”.

That was pretty funny.

There’s a Chinese restuarant here in Indianapolis named Ho Lee Chow

A hot dog stand that I used to frequent at Reagan National Airport was named Frank ‘n’ Stein. Beer and knockwurst…

Fluke Electronics. I think their motto shoulw be {If it works well, it’s a Fluke!"

I used to drive by a place downtown called Ono Fish Cakes. Every time I drove by I had to shriek to myself, “Oh, noooooo! Fiiish caaaakes!”

Has anyone heard of Dick Knows Video?

Chez Monuex

it sells deserts and sweets.

Ermm…you do know that Phuket is pronounced (roughly) pooh-ket, right? :wink: (Aparently you sort of aspirate the P, which is why there’s an H after it. It is definitely not pronounced with an “f” sound.)

It’s become quite a tourist destination: Phuket, Thailand.

There’s a company in Amherst, MA called Amherst Trucking, but the font on their trucks is a very thin scripty font, so the “r” sort of merges with the “T”. Thus, they are known as ** Amherst Fucking**.

I don’t quite know if this counts, but…

An ex-boyfriend’s father’s name was John Johns.

And he had a plumbing business.

No, I’m not making this up.

From Monday’s Bartcop page , there is a picture near the bottom for “Big Dick’s Halfway Inn”.

We also got one of those nearby in Belmont Shore (Long Beach), CA.

Supposedly, there’s this strip bar out in Lake Forest called The Library.

In Elizabeth City there’s an ice cream shop(can’t remember the name) and they sell “Like New Ice Cream!” Wouldn’t that make it slightly used?

There’s a laundromat here in Tampa called Debbie Does Laundry. There’s also a 4x4 shop over in Clearwater called S&M Truck Parts.

Not a business name, but a sign I saw outside of a restaurant one day when I was driving by:
