Strange/Funny Business Names

BaZmO*

I was in the local chipper the other night and I saw an ad for a Hairdressers called “Split Endz” and I got thinking to myself what a really stupid name. That’d be like a restaurant calling itself “Salmonella” or “The Trots” or something similar!!

So I got talking to a friend about funny or strange names that people give their businesses and my friend told me of a greasy spoon type café in Ballyfermot called………wait for it…… “Angela’s Rashers”

Which I think is hilarious, that and the carpet guy on the Long Mile Road called “Lino Richie”

Anybody come across any others?

Santry Towels, Swords Pork, Finglas Gloves, all part of my imaginary North Dublin buisiness empire.

As someone living in Athlone I never saw anything funny about Nuts Corner or Durty Harry's but I suppose they've both been there as long as I can remember. Another good pub name:

Somewhere in Castlerea, Co. Roscommon I think is
The Stagger Inn.

In Greece while on a European Peoples Festival the Irish group stayed in a hotel called
Hotel Elpis. It was very appropriate.

Don't know if it's still there or not, but 'Dolphin Meats' in Dolphin's Barn always used to give me a giggle.

I always found 'Dynorod' funny, also, 'Master Catering' a more obvious one.

smoke.me.a.kipper

in Kilsheelan (sp?) in tipp, i pass by 'chipper', 'newsagent' and 'cafe' everyday. i suppose it would be hard to get confused there!

One of the biggest chains of Pizza shops in Paris is called "Speedy Rabbit"......
Not entirely convinced they weren't talking about the toppings

That's gone but I think there is still a Chinese take-away in Dundrum called "The Great Wall" just across the road from the Central Mental Hospital.

Nice theory, but I'm pretty sure The Great Wall is in Blackrock. The chinese across from the hospital has been called the New Peking for as long as I can remember.

There is a florist in Dundrum called Blooming Amazing though.

There used to be a chain of Chinese Take-aways in Dublin called "Good Luck" which I always thought was quite strange.
The reason being, every time you'd ring up to place your order you'd be greeted with the words "Good Luck"
Doesn't exactly instill confindence when you're just about to order food!!!

In Brussels there are fast food places called "Quick", their cakes are called "Quickies".
