I drove by a new strip mall that is being built. It is not open yet, but there are already signs up for some of the businesses.

There is a mail & ship type store called "Goin' Postal"

It cracked me up, but I wondered if some people would be offended by it. (We are only an hour away from the post office that had the first big post office shooting.)

The only other time I remember laughing out loud at a business name was at a dog groomers I saw called "Doggy Style".

Any funny business names near you? Do people take them seriously or do they quickly go out of business?

Had a friend who tried to open a hairstyle place. While she was doing freelance work making money to rent a place, her cards said, "Curl Up And Dye"

Not really a funny name, just a funny font choice:

That reminds me....

Are they still in business? I would imagine they get a ton of people coming by to look, but wonder if it equates to customers. Hell I would rent there if they were near me.

"Say what?"

This is the concept used for a sign on a local Christian bookstore, except on the storefront it's all one color.



When it first opened, I wondered why on earth somebody would name their store "Hi Sword."

This was always one of my favorites

That "Clinica Dental" sign reminds me of a WC Fields movie short where he was a Dentist. He was treating the tall woman and somehow she ended up on him like that with both feet in his coat pockets and her arms around his neck. It was clearly a cleverly planned sex gag.

I guess Beavis and Butthead made it popular but a bunghole is just a hole where you place a valve on a wine barrel

My ex and I had a place at Lake of the Ozarks, and we drove past Big Dick's on the way there.

Olympia Washington has a family restaurant called Dirty Dick's. I think because of the name they actually put "Family Restaurant" on the sign.

We have a "Hung Far Low" Chinese place in the downtown area.

There is are at least 5 restaurants named Pho King in the U.S. (Oakland, CA; Seaside, CA; Alexandria, VA; Mountlake Terrace, WA; Sacramento, CA).

There used to be a "Foo Kee Chinese Buffet" in Kansas City North.

Tygan

There still is a Foo Kee...it just moved down a few blocks.
