Default Business Names

Some business names that cause me to snort/chuckle/smirk - - -


There is a chain of gas station/convenience stores that we see on the way to and from Florida:

Kum & Go

DH worked for a trucking company called:

Quickie Transport


Do you have names any to contribute to this list?

We used to have a local freight company. Named Campbell Freight, or something like that. Had a comical camel with his tongue hanging out painted on the trailer and said "Humping To Please". I get a kick out of some of the names of beauty salons..."All is Hair in Love and War". A tanning salon? "Tan Ur' Hide"

I remember Campbell Freight and Humping to please. They were professional drivers, very courteous and wore kahki uniforms with bow ties. Sorry, I got side tracked. I have seen lots of strange business names, can't remember now.
We do have a hair salon, U.S. Hair Force.

Not so much business names ... but bad slogans for businesses


A local butcher uses the slogan "You can't beat my meat".

A local restaurant has the following printed at the bottom of their menu's "Good food takes a while to prepare, yours will be ready in a minute".
