This sport/camping/outdoor chain of stores we have in Belgium and France is just called A.S. Adventure (their former name was "American Stockhouse," hence the A.S.)
but I can't read their website https://www.asadventure.com/en/stores.html as anything other than A Sad Venture :(

When I lived in Albuquerque there was a store called Purse-anality. I could never figure out why they went with an 'a' instead of an 'o'.

Would go from 'horribly' to 'brilliantly' formed if that's next door to or across the road from a place of worship.

Apparently, at one time, it was a lingerie shop.

Terrible, but it works slightly better with a thick French accent since the 'd' and 's' of 'bâtards' are both silent.

Dog grooming shop called 'Going To The Dogs'. As it's a shop and not a mobile service are they just saying their shop is run-down and shit?

If your poo is gold, you need to get the fuck out of Lollapalooza or whatever and see a doctor ASAP.

I recently discovered that there’s a gift shop in NJ called Flowers in the Attic.

This is probably less a horribly-formed 'name' than it is an inexplicable-yet-amazing combination of name + business purview but

It's not a local company, but a North American roofing business based out of Pennsylvania... but...

Every morning I drive past the local facility and every morning, I think about the 100% fabricated marketing conversation that my head insists on replaying:

CEO: I don't just guarantee we've got the lowest price – I certaintee it!

MARKETING GUY: Ok. I like it. But first, first, "certaintee" isn't really a word, and secondly –

CEO: Well I know that! I just made it up!

MARKETING GUY: Secondly, if it really was a word, how would it come to mean a more intense version of "guarantee"? It seems problematic, espe–

CEO: Fuck it! You know what, smart guy? That word's that's not a word is the new name for the company! How's that for an "intense version"? Haha, IT'S GODDMAMMED CERTAINTEED FROM NOW ON.

Not quite on topic, but calling a strip club ‘Burke and Hare’ (in Edinburgh) is kind of dark, maybe over honest?

On Brick Lane yet another place has opened in honour of our old prostitute murderer, this time a chip shop called Jack the Chipper. Slightly worried that the council might eventually get around to making us all have a play on his name at some point. (For example: About a year and a half ago they opened the Turkish barbers ‘Jack the Clipper’)
