Title: Most, er, interesting entreprenurial ideas
Post by: kib on March 07, 2015, 04:19:47 PM

and business names.

I was reading about In n Out Burger, which you have to admit is a bit amusing, and I remembered driving cross-country and being accosted by:

Pump N Munch.

oh.

really?

Just your average convenience store / gas station combo ... but I always wish I'd gone back and gotten the t-shirt.  Any other "ya gotta laugh or cry" business desperado?

Back in Ontario there is a business by the name of Gaylord's Hardwood.  Its a hardwood flooring company, and the owner's name is Gaylord.  I am never sure if the innuendos are intentional or not, but they don't seem to avoid them.  For example on the about page of their website (http://gaylordhardwoodflooring.com/about-gaylord-hardwood-flooring/), they state that "we pride ourselves on three basic principles", "Length. Finish. Service.".  Hmmm...

I used to work in Queenstown, NZ. Seeing one of their deliver trucks go by always put a smirk on my face.
