Drove past a new store yesterday. It's a place that fixes cell phones. Called "Bad Apple."

We have some other clever business names here. There's a big car lot named "A Lot of Cars" as well as the classic Dew Drop Inn.

Examples from your area?

In 1972, when wandering around the first HEB I'd ever been in, trying to locate the beer coolers, I was informed by a cashier as long as Howard E. Butt was alive, there twernt no beer gonna be sold in any of his stores, period. Fast forward to 1991, one day after they planted Howard Sr. in the ground, the classified ad sections in the Houston Post and the Chronicle had exploded with about 15 pages worth of liquor license application notices for every one of their stores in Houston. Bet old Howard was turning over in his fresh grave.

There was a 'Store Without A Name' store in Fargo N.D. many decades ago.

Eventually, the store held a contest for a new 'name'. One woman took the first
letter of each word of the previous name, 'S W A N' - and won the contest!

The store was renamed SWAN - but most folks still referred to it as the 'Store Without A Name'.

Big Dick's Halfway Inn

True story - Back in the day when I was a debt collector, a guy on my team was chasing a bartender here. He waited for a shift change when everyone was up and moving about the cube farm to call this place and in his baritone voice ask "Hi, is this Dick's halfway inn?". It was a true E.F Hutton moment as the whole place froze to hear the rest of the conversation. grin
