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.

Probably unintentional, just happened by chance.

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).
― nickn, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 16:16 (nine years ago)
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.

Not the business name, but on their web site:
"Join us on Thursday nights for live jazz beginning at 8:00 p.m., and live music Friday and Saturday nights starting at 9pm."

I think they're going for "I see New York". Maybe trying to get their name in with London and France?

keep meaning to mention a place that seemed to be opening up near me, with a banner in the window advertising themselves as DOGSTRAINING WALKS. The color changed from light blue to lavender between "DOGS" and "TRAINING" but it was hard not to read it differently. I wanted to take a photo for this thread, but the next time I walked by the banner was gone. Now it's an empty storefront with a few chairs and miscellaneous tossed-about flotsam (including the crumpled banner) visible through the glass.

Not horribly formed but I pass this cafe every day to and from work and the significance of the name is that it's directly opposite Pentonville Prison...

... and, in case anyone hadn't made the connection, they've recently changed the sign so that the O in Breakout is now two prison bars being pulled apart.

In the course of my job, I regularly find myself asking, 'is there some sort of governmental mandate that all daycare facilities and preschools are named by Marilyn Manson?' LITTLE KIDDIES. PEEK-A-BOO. CUDDLE TIME. BELLYRUBS. Okay, that last one was a doggie daycare, but still.
