Unusual Business Names

Postby Bobbie En Tejas » Fri Jun 08, 2007 7:35 pm

Saw this today in downtown San Antonio and am wondering if a person would really want to eat at a sushi bar named Yokonyu Sushi.

And how about the funeral home in Buffalo NY that has been there forever: Amigone Funeral Home.

Bobbie - I used to work with a woman who worked in our Internal Audit department and her name was Morag Swindle, there was also a woman in the same team called Isla Whyte.

I used to work for the UK's main satellite broadcaster when the General Manager was called Andy CABLE!

In my current job I have Coors as a customer and my two main contacts are Christine Brewer and Wendy Beers.

These are all 100% genuine.

Again not a business as such, but I regularly send stuff over to our head office for the attention of 'P Tombs, or S Graves'.

Must be a right bundle of laughs working in there. :lol:
