There's a food stand at our international food market called "SHARK SANDWICH". Every time I see that I think of the Spinal Tap bit -- "The review for Shark Sandwich was merely a two-word review, which simply read 'Shit Sandwich'"

Possibly trying to capitalize on the U.S. Legal Sea Food chain? Or is it just be coincidentally badly-named?

There is (was?) a hot dog place in Los Angeles called Law Dogs; its gimmick was that the owner was a lawyer and would answer legal questions for the customers.

I like 'Floral & Hardy'! It's a pun that works for both sides and isn't just shoehorning a business-related pun into one side and leaving the other hanging semantically empty. Well, as long as they do actually specialise in selling hardy perennials.

As I learned thanks to Manchester By The Sea, the way the locals pronounce "quinzy" makes it unlikely they're in on the joke

"Kush Dental" is about 15 minutes from me.
Kush is dude's last name but I wonder how many people are horribly disappointed when they arrive

Quincy Dental = coincidental (if the previous comment wasn't enough).

it's clever because it's just an accident that it works as a pun

This place just opened in my neighborhood:http://icenyicecream.com/
Can't really figure out what they're going for with the spacing, and the ICE in all caps makes me think of immigration raids.
