local businesses with horribly formed "names"

Not a "horribly formed name" in the classic sense of this thread, but a local restaurant opened up in the last few months (taking over the space from what had long been a Thai food/doughnut shop). The sign out front reads

Ch4s and Fr4n's Place
Eat Here or We'll Both Starve

I feel so bad for them.

that pet shop boys pet shop reminded me that there is a hair salon near where I live called depeche mode

yeah but that's probably just the phrase

I'll club this seal to make a deal, xp

Not a business, but I was just in Whole Foods and saw a non-dairy "butter" called Zen Budda.

Oh yeah, also saw a beer from New Zealand called Boysen Beery.

There used to be a cider/alcopop type drink here called TwoDogs, which may need some explaining if yr not Australian, I'm not sure.

I don't get it.

It's a (probably vaguely racist) shitty old Aussie joke.

I have been to the Fractured Prune many times. It is ott but p good nonetheless

Not exactly on topic for the thread, but I just discovered a corporation called "CHINA XD PLASTICS CO LTD"

Intended to evoke Peyton Place, I guess, but instead conjures an image of Peyton Manning receiving a lap dance.

His brother looks cute on that billboard though.

I don't know how anyone could ever feel comfortable leaving their kids at a daycare called Little Kiddies.

"Are you ready to hear some some violin music, children? Well let's have a round of applause for the Kiddie Fiddler!"

Horribly formed signs/logos.

I swear to god Quilty Pleasures or something just like it was the name of the joke business in the credits to Bob's Burgers last week.

Close - "Quilty As Charged"

imo 'Professor Plumb' is just on the right side of stupid.

There's a shop in Shoreditch called something like (I approximate massively but you'll get the point) 'Shop that sells really cool things to cool people LOL'. I haven't been in to confirm if the name is accurate.

Founding Farmers restaurant in DC featuring food sourced from small farms.

A beauty emporium near me (kind of like a smaller independent Ulta, beauty salon/retail kinda deal) now have a frozen yogurt shop attached to their business (no idea why)

the name of the yogurt shop is Yogurt Yazzle

and all I can think of is vajazzle and uggghh

vajogurt?

thank you, Roberto Spiralli, for putting into a word what I was trying to imagine

I want to open a pet adoption shelter named, Meet Spay Love.

I was disappointed to find out that there are already coffeeshops (not local, but somewhere in America) called Hill of Beans and Beancounters

lol jon

I want to start a middle eastern restaurant called Lambs to the Za'atar or Za'atar House Five.

Zaatar is a good name for a restaurant actually, has anyone used it?

What is a Yazzle?

Coming soon to South Jersey USA

(amazing performance from Faron btw.)

Where is Wine Me Up, Nick? I'm assumng London somewhere; don't know the taco shop!

No, it's in Brighton. That one's on Western Road, but there are a couple of them here

there's a bakery near my parent's house called "Absolutely Edible" and every time I see their sign I think "who are you trying to convince?"

http://statics.192.com/estreet/original/large/2105/21052544.jpg

that's brilliantly formed!

Yeah, not really in the spirit of the thread, it's pretty much my favourite shop name.

i'm now kind of amazed that a self-service dog wash can function as a business but still
