Bad Business Names

[DoodleJump!]

I always hated the smoothie-booth chain Maui Wowie.
Also, there is a kid's clothing store in town that bothers me so badly I cringe every time I pass by it: Shoe Wee.

a chinese man who had his legs amputated opened a store called Half Man Half Price.

there's a picture of the guy so i'm just posting a link in case it would freak anyone out.

A few miles away from where I am now (New London, CT) there's a gas station convenience store called "Pump N' Munch."  Up the road a little way, there's a deli called "Jared's Packy," which just sounds weird to Americans, but overtly racist to British people (who are in the area fairly often for theater-related reasons).

I was wondering before I opened the link why a picture of an amputee would freak anyone out- since amputees are kind of common-ish.
But now I can see your point- Wow!
That's not really a "bad" business name per se, I think it is pretty awesome once you know the background. Kudos to the guy!

There was a corner store in Brooklyn near my old place that had a kind of weird spelling. It was the "Colon Deli."  It was supposed to be Spanish -- "Colón" with an accent but they did not have that on the signs or t-shirts.

They also had a weird promotion -- if you wore one of their t-shirts, you got 25% off a six-pack of Budweiser.

That is awesome!

My coworker, Joel, is currently telling me that in Irwindale, CA, he's seen a radiator repair shop with a bad slogan, as opposed to a bad name.  The slogan being:  "A good place to take a leak!"

I also find that Bass Pro Shop has painted themselves into a corner, because I know a LOT of people who constantly refer to it as "Pro Bass Shop."*



*probe ass shop ... now you get it?

I don't think it's open anymore, but I distinctly remember driving past an establishment called "Poopie's Carryout" in Covington, KY.

This wins, by the way.

Sorry.  I screwed up.  "Felt Kids" is a terrible name of a product, not a business.

So let me try again: The Vinyl Solution.  It is a record store in Portchester, NY.

One that's close to my heart: the Western New York chain of funeral homes owned by the Amigone family.
