PUNNY-NAMES

Watching Modern Family, the character Cameron was busy choosing businesses for the upcoming wedding and mentioned that he preferred businesses with punny-names such as FLORIST GUMP and FLORAL & HARDY!

I have also always liked the use of clever punning for businesses, as long as one is able to "get" it! I've written before about business names which one couldn't tell what the business is! (CLICK HERE to see article)

My favorite local cute pun is BACK-EN-THYME which is a floral shop.

I also like the following ones from other areas:

THE LONE HYDRANGEA (floral shop)
CURL AND DYE (beauty salon)
AL'S CLIP JOINT (barber shop)
ROCK AND SOLE PLACE (fish and chips restaurant)
BEST LITTLE HAIR HOUSE IN DENVER (beauty shop)
AWARD WEINERS (hot dog stand at Disneyland)
THAI ME UP (Thai food restaurant)
PANE IN THE GLASS (glass repair)

The article by Richard Nordquist here shows 200 punny-named businesses which he states are STILL in business because of (OR despite the fact) the names!
