Jonas gave me a great conversation idea, so here goes... What's the craziest name of a business you have patronized?  I'll start off with my hair salon in Chicago, "Curl Up and Dye".

Afghan Caves Restaurant

Marge Simpson goes to a salon called "Turn Your Head And Coif".

Pink Taco Restaurant in Scottsdael. I guess my mind is in the gutter

Decent Convenient Store.

That one still gets me.  Everyone is trying to be best, greatest, friendliest, cleanest, biggest, whatever.  And there's Decent Convenient Store in Andersonville Chicago laying on the line and keepin' it real.

Oh, and Klassy Kuts.  That's classy with a "K."

I had a laugh at: Kum n' go (a liquor store in steamboat springs, CO)

An unfurnished furniture store in Fresno called I Got Wood.

everyone favorite internet legend vietnames noodle shop

phosizzle.

pink taco in vaegs

pho king is hands down the funniest though.

There's a gas station called Gas War in Bakersfield.  And I've been to Sexy Donuts in LA.

Manhattan Discount Bank. I'm totally going to hell for this but it was a Hasidic Jewish institution. Did they have to put the word "discount" in the title?

My friend's legal software company, "LGM Software" (standing for "Lawyers, Guns & Money")

These are both in Seattle: "Reasonably Honest Dave's Used Appliances" and my personal lifetime, all time favorite, "Verna Beaver's Designer Coiffures".

Yes, Poe, you are going to hell, but it will be a lot more fun for the rest of us when you show up!

Oh, and in Tacoma, WA there's "Sar's Chinese Restaurant".

Yes, really.

people are asking for the contact info , so heres pho king in oakland.

Maiko:  Ha, are you from Bakersfield, or do you just pass through?  Where is Gas War?

In Milwaukee;
Art Smarts' Dart Mart (darts and juggling, etc. stuff) and his wife's store next door, The Happy Hooker, fishing lures and such.

This thread is making me laugh out loud and the kittens think I'm nuts.

poe,  hahaha what a kawinkydinky.

the happy hooker out of the east bay.

You guys are the greatest...  One more from me:  "Linoleum Dicks " in San Jose.... though I think the original sign has been torn down, but not before it appeared in National Lampoon!  I have heard that this was a real business for some time.

I'm not from Bakersfield....but I've seen it when I've driven through town on my way to Vegas.

My face hurts from laughing....

Goood Frickin' Chicken on Mission street. Nothing scandalous,  but still a pretty unique/ bold name to turn heads.

"What are you eating for dinner?"
"Goood Frickin' Chicken."

The Bust Stop....It's the only strip club in Bouler, CO

The Man Hole
gay bar In Green Bay, WI.

Grateful Head, a hair salon chain in Mtn View and a few other places in the bay area, which I used to frequent.  I love grateful head.  Much better than spiteful head.

king dong in berkeley

The Pink Poodle!

yelp.com/biz/b3CdlGTxq65…

A strip joint in San Jose.  I've never been, but folks in the know tell me that the Brass Rail ( yelp.com/biz/r4sRs3LMBKU… ) is better.

"the sausage factory" at the castro makes me laugh.

There is a cafe on clement called "my favorite cafe".  They got you roped into that one...

i can't remember the name of the company, but i saw a meat company's truck and their slogan was "you can't beat our meat!"

"WAWA".....
They're back east..... "Our Core Purpose...
  To Simplify Our Customers'  Daily Lives

Our Core Values...
 Value People
 Delight Customers
 Embrace Change
 Do the Right Thing
 Do Things Right
 Passion for Winning

They bill themselves as the "cheers" of convenience stores.
I know the name is a word for the canada goose, but it brings to mind crying babies....

Also: the name
"Quacker Factory" always makes me laugh.
tinyurl.com/pc6jf

They make these sweaters. I really shouldn't laugh that hard, it's a MULTIMILLION DOLLAR empire, these sweaters are.

And who could forget.. I would drive past this sign and it would make me cringe somewhat...

dykeslumber.com

There used to be a Casket Wholesalers on Valencia and House Of Foam on Ocean or was it Geneva?

How about the Flying Dutchman valet car-parking company in SF?  That always cracked me up...  Sure, I'll leave my car with you...

Toy's Balloon Cage, inner city Milwaukee. I guess they sell toys and balloons but I have no idea what is in the cage.

Mona Risa Beauty Salon.

In Chinatown - I think I stopped, re-read it, and then proceeded to laugh out loud at it...then kept walking. I think it's on B'way between Columbus and Powell somewhere.

'KUNTRY KUTS' in Johnsville OH.
I think the 'r' was even turned backerds fer fun. As teenagers we sorta hoped it would fall off - right there in the Bible belt.

I'm pretty sure her husband sharpened lawnmower blades in the shed out back. *shudder* :B

Crazy Crepes

There's a "Two Hos" bakery in the Richmond.  Hours of amusement.

Cox's Smokers Outlet in Louisville.

I always liked Piggly Wiggly.

Safeway is kind of stupid in theory too.

Bu tthe best was when my folks were here from NY, my dad is like

"Hey, lets try Thai food from Phuket. How bout some Phuket? Phuket Kace? (my mom's name) Want Phuket?" (pronouncing it Fuck it.) He had a ball with it til i told him it was Poo-kay.

He almost pouted over it.

My personal favorite is still the convenience store near where I grew up...The S&M Market.

I saw this posted by Jonas T.  in another topic:

The Male-box

I saw a billboard once for a Cram 'n' Slam Storage

in asbury park - a store called 'meat-n-more' (i never stepped foot in there but they listed all sorts of gross specials)

Dick's Donuts  High St @ 580 freeway

I have a photo I took of a store very near Windsor Castle- it's called the Reject China Shoppe and the Castle is in the background. Very Strange juxtaposition!

I just saw "Grateful Head" on my way to work today.

Dirty Dick's Crab House
(a small chain with a couple locations in the Outer Banks in North Carolina)

Their slogan is "I Got My Crabs from Dirty Dick's"

I'm telling you, people, this is a family restaurant, with kids menus and  such. You can also buy baby clothes (among other things) bearing said slogan. I went there with my parents a few years back. Odd.

I think it's in Burlingame... a gas station called Bob's Got Gas.

never heard of a fish taco till college, well at least the food kind. buddy went to ucsd, she said the best fish taco are at bjs.

In Chicago, Mexican grocery store called "Tres Hermanos". When one of the guys died, they crossed out the tres and wrote in dos.

I get a kick out of Marx Realty on Irving St.
