local businesses with horribly formed "names"

Grin and Bear Grylls DDS

There's an optometrist here called AccessorEyes, but I never felt it was horrible enough for this thread.

You were wrong, it is :)

It didn't quite meet the level of the child's party violinist who went by "the Kiddy Fiddler."

Sew it Seams

amazing!
I refuse to believe in 'the Kiddy Fiddler'

The post I responded to where I made that joke is a dead link now, but it was something on that line (though not as one-the-nose).

Intended to evoke Peyton Place, I guess, but instead conjures an image of Peyton Manning receiving a lap dance.

His brother looks cute on that billboard though.

I don't know how anyone could ever feel comfortable leaving their kids at a daycare called Little Kiddies.

"Are you ready to hear some some violin music, children? Well let's have a round of applause for the Kiddie Fiddler!"

local businesses with horribly formed "signs"

I've been inside this place

Performing or spectating?

is this a Mamet piece

i actually think this is amazing:

A new business just opened two doors down from our local Nothing Bundt Cakes (with the typeface that looks like it says "butt" and the logo that looks like poop).

What's the new place called?

It's called...

iCream Yogurt & Crepes

Slogan: you don't want a butt cake? Okay, I (will) cream (in your) yogurt.

Missed opportunity for Oliver Tan.

wait, that's for real?

iDrink Your Milkshake

this maybe belongs on "your terrible ideas" but i have the notion for a charming, quirky, vaguely dated coffee shop named "Knowing Beans, Knowing Brew"

In a story about Alamo Drafthouse:

"Variety reports that Alamo’s Chapter 11 filing is part of a purchase agreement with previous investors Altamont Capital Partners..."

Is there any way this is not a pun on 'French Letter'?

Why would you want to associated any shop (with the possible exception of an adult store) with condoms?

They don't even have any products that feature lettuce, they are fucking bakeries.

Pottonmouth is a cannabis store in the small town of Valley Junction, OR. My theory is the owners were stoned when they invented the name.

I saw a hair removal shop called reWAXation the other day

More of a horribly formed sign, but worth a gander

I’m sorry....what kind of store?? pic.twitter.com/oDoj87g3Of

xp to 420 thread, everything about this Dallas "toasted" sub establishment and promotional video is horribly formed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ-91BPhciA

Theres a handful of Cheba Huts in AZ. Guess they are expanding!

the subs are pretty good

I know about it because I passed one in Austin the other day

tbh, I laughed when I saw it, but then looking at their website brought the full on cringe

the one by ASU was the original i think. always packed with college students.

tighten up, hippies!

Don't worry, already called the police

Not businesses, but food products i've seen in stores lately:

Not a local business and not (I don't think) a deliberate pun, but

https://soyface.illinois.edu/

What is SoyFACE?
SoyFACE (Soybean Free Air Concentration Enrichment) is an innovative facility for growing crops under production field conditions in an atmosphere that has higher levels of carbon dioxide and ozone, higher temperature and altered soil water availability. SoyFACE was designed to discover the effects of atmospheric change on the agronomy and productivity of Midwestern crops as well as to find solutions that will lead to crops better adapted to this future.

I've learned that "'Abba' signifies the close, intimate relationship of a father and his child, as well as the childlike trust that a young child puts in his 'daddy',” but this pamphlet struck me as funny when I first saw it (and didn't know).

(It's a Christian thing at a local church.)

It's just the Hebrew word for father...still weird.

Yeah, but the font references the band, right? So maybe there is some kind of "wink, wink" going on. It is apparently a Japanese-American Christian church.
