There was a men and boys clothing store in Green Bay, WI at one time called “Sons of Britches.” I’m not sure if it was a chain or not.
I’ve seen a truck for a septic tank service whose motto was “We’re thankful for your tankful.”
I used to be a delivery driver for Cluck-U Chicken in College Park, MD.
In Prague, Czech Rep, is a pizza delivery service called “Pizza GO home”
Always made me smile. Have no ideas how the pizza was 
I always thought that it was an Audi-mobile. 
Wax paper anyone?

Columbus, OH has some of the worst business names…
Nacho Momma’s Restaurant
T. Estes Trucking
and
Knigga Electric
don’t ask me to pronounce the last one :smack:
Also down in Gallipolis, OH there was Borg Industries… the tempation to put “Resistance is Futile” on their sign was insurmountable
Used to be a real estate agent in my college town named Dick Longing. Kids would always steal his signs from lawns. Eventually he changed the signs to read “Henley Longing”. I didn’t know Dick was a nickname for Henley, nor even that Henley was a first name, but I’ve alwas wondered why anyone would go by Dick. Especially with that last name!
I know a guy who started off his business as an auto mechanic, specializing in rebuilds. He then switched careers mid-life, become a massage therapist and Rolfer.
Took a bit of remodeling to redo his space for his healing work. He didn’t change his sign though. Still calls it The Body Shop.
In the St. Louis suburbs, “Big Boy’s Steel Erection”. They rent moble cranes.
In BOston it’s Shaunessey’s Erections. My wife and her friends have an in-joke/story about that they caused them to make up T-shirts that read “Were you there for Shaunessey’s Erection?”
A few years ago we passed a lot filled with their cranes, all labeled “Shaunessey Erection”, and all tilted at a suggestive angle. **Pepper[/P], ever the photographer, had to get severa shots.
There’s a take-out chicken place in New Brunswick, New Jersey, near Rutgers University. Its original name was Cluck-U. Some folks were offended and the official name was changed to Cluck University. But that’s not what everybody called it.
Oh ick. I do not need to think about Dan Shaunessey* that way.
*Boston Globe sportswriter who bears a striking resemblance to a used Q-tip. With a personality to match.

I enjoy posting.
It’s obviously not a preconceived, intentional literary reference, but I always think that Time Warner should have as its slogan “carpe diem.”
I often see trucks bearing the words, “WAXIE: the busy bees of sanitary supply,” complete with a bee logo.
There’s a street in one of the South Bay Area cities (I forget which one exactly) called Alameda De Los Pulgas, and a restaurant on that street called Flea Street. It’s a literal translation from Spanish, but not really a good name for a restaurant.
Just Desserts makes what you would expect.
Not really pun-tastic, but in Melbourne there’s a gym called “Harmony” right next door to a furniture store called “Equilibrium”. Well, it might be the other way round, but still amusing. I noticed this last week and have been dying for an occasion to mention it.
BF tells me he once used a law firm in Albany, Oregon that was named Johnson, Cramm, & Harder . How appropriate!
