local businesses with horribly formed "names"

"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?"

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

xp dog washing places have been a thing in the us for the last ten years or so.

saw a large truck bearing the logo for a local chemical transport service called... Quimex

Just passed a poster for another dog-washing place called Shampooch.

My mom has a self service dog wash called "the sink"

so much of life has passed me by

our dogs both go to "the hose" which is more of an al fresco sort of joint

That reminds me of one of my local favorites, Sanitary Bakery.

There's a dog wash place here called Wash "R" Doggie, and I've always been bothered by the "R" because it's not the business's dog you'll be washing*, it's yours. Should be called Wash "YR" Doggie.

* Though I've also imagined they have a dog on staff that people can wash if that activity gives them pleasure/comfort/etc.

yesterday near the entrance of a gloomy arcade in surfer's paradise i saw a handlettered board promoting the "Get Stuffed" Sandwich and Salad Bar.

I find the "ME SO HUNGRY" food truck that circles nearby somewhat offensive.

ha, it reminds me of this:

I admit to chuckling when I saw this yesterday. Not horribly formed but it seems to belong here.

i'd be tempted to jam my forearm behind the row of them and just start swinging tbh

Photographed "A Salt & Battery" for this thread, sad to discover it was already posted long ago. That one makes me actively angry.

Perhaps this one will deflect your anger:

That's bad, but "A Salt & Battery" is premised on the idea that visiting customers would find "assault and battery" a delightful pun rather than having a flashback experience to past experiences with violence. Also it's in New York which would suggest it's a pun on "the Battery" or Battery Park - which it's nowhere near. Like, you can't open a bookstore called Booklyn in Baltimore.

Yeah. I already mentioned the shipping/packaging store I saw called "Going Postal," right? cringe.

A dude I know who's a stand-up comedian has a bit about A Salt & Battery, where he asks "what the hell?" and then turns around and says he wants to open up an eatery of his own called "Statutory Crepe."

totally!
