lox stock and bagel is in champaign and has been closed for several years, its such a cool looking building though still

There’s a Thai food place in South Carolina called Thaicoon, in the spirit of # 17

a couple clever ones I’ve seen (both bikes shops oddly enough): “Cyclepath” and “Out Spoke’n”

two of my favorites:

Cycle Therapy (bike shop, now closed I think, in Colorado Springs)
The Best Little Warehouse in Texas (self-storage, in San Antonio)

There’s a “Pho King” somewhere in Orange County, CA, I’ve been told. I hope it’s real and not an urban legend.

How about Shang Chai – kosher chinese restaurant in Brooklyn (for those hebrew impaired folks – chai means ‘life’)

There is (was?) a Chinese-Tex-Mex fusion place in San Antonio call Wok-a-Molé.

My favorite was a caterer I saw in Maine named “Food Forethought”

There’s an adult store in town: Venus Envy

Best. Name. Ever.

Grill From Ipanema, D.C.

In Bellevue, WA there’s a Vietnamese restaurant called “What the Pho?”

There was a pet grooming business on Rt 22 in Whitehouse Station, NJ entitled LaundraMutt. I laughed everytime I drove past the place.

A bakery in Indiana: “Hoosier Mama”.

Pho Shizzle in Cambridge, Ontario and Oberlin, Ohio

If I ever open a bird store, I will call it “Victorious Egret”

Chinese restaurant in Winnipeg, on 1st Street . . . Hu’s on First!

If I opened a fragrance shop in Arizona, I’d call it “Scents of Yuma”.

An inn in Alaska called Skinny Dick’s Halfway Inn

Hayward, CA has a bike shop called Cyclepath.

Oh – who could forget – there’s a pet grooming shop in Brighton called ‘Doggy Fashion’. . . . .

There is a Thai restaurant in Rochester, England called Thai For Two. Until recently there was also a takeaway in Battersea (south London) called The Leaning Tower of Pizza.

There used to be a bakery in Camden Town called Crusty Bloomers, there’s a fabric shop in the East End called Touching Cloth and a nick-nack shop in Notting Hill called Les Cuises De Chien (the dog’s bollocks)

There’s an Insurance place near Winton in Bournemouth called Norman D. Landings, makes me chuckle.

Here in Godalming we have a second-hand dress shop called ‘Change of a-dress’ (and there must be a million ‘Frock Exchange’s

There’s a cheese shop in Keswick (Lake District) called ‘Fond Ewe’

There’s a shop in Shrewsbury, UK called ‘Write here, Kite now”, specialising in both writing equipment (fancy paper and pens), and yes kites.

wedding chaple – - – Knot Here

There’s a picture frame store in Syracuse, NY called I’ve Been Framed

In Honolulu, we have the “Dew Drop Inn”.

While not a pun, we also have a Chinese restaurant named “Fook Yuen”. I’m waiting for them to open a 2nd location they can name “Fook Yuen 2″. (and the horse you rode in on!)

Then there’s the Chicago area institutions, The Wiener and Still Champion, a laundermat called,” Wash Up, Doc”, the beauty shop, “United Hairlines”, the sandwich shop, “Snaks Firth Avenue” and I’m stull lookng for a restaurant called, “General Meals”.

[...] Truly, the pun is the lowest form of humor. ‘Cause I’m just not getting it. [...]

Here in the Adelaide CBD is a great little eatery called the “Do Duck Inn”. They’ve decorated (subtly) the interior with, you guessed it, ducks.

A bike shop in Braunton, England that had it’s address on SOUTH STREET, was Called, ‘SOUTHFORK’ refering to the setting of TV’s Dallas, I guess. It’s not there anymore though. I think it moved onto the main shopping street, but kept the name, which doesn’t work so well any more!

One more, a mail-order cheese shop in northeastern Pennsylvania.

“Cheeses of Nazareth”

“The Vinyl Countdown”, record store?
(not a real store though)
Also, Wok This Way is awesome!

Excellent list. I particularly like Cane and Able.

In my home town of Fermoy, Ireland, there used to be a hair salon called The Head Gardener.

On Nassau St in Dublin, there is a shop selling door handles and accessories (?!) called Knobs and Knockers (and if you don’t get that, “knob” is slang for the male member over here and knockers are, of course, boobies).

There’s are two rest. owned by the same people in a small college town in Oklahoma. One is a pizza and chicken rest. called Sam N Ella. and the other is a sandwich type rest. called Ernie Coli’s .

The Dick Liquor?? (How did they miss that?)

There is (was?) a Chinese place in Quincy, Mass. called Good Chow.

The Master Bait and Tackle shop was in Wilson NY, where I grew up. Don’t know if it’s still there or if there was more than that one but we always laughed about it as kids.
