Business names that are also puns
A tip o' the hat to reader A. M. for sending me the link to this article. It lists 30 businesses with names that are also puns - some of them excruciatingly funny. Here are a few examples.
Used to be a landscape contractor out my way who called his business "Rakes Progress" (IIRC had been an underemployed English MS or PhD) and another one who billed himself as the "Marquis de Sod" which I guess is even worse if you're a Brit.
Zillah is a community near Yakima, WA East of the Cascade Range where there are many orchards and vineyards. It is of course home to many congregations including the Church of God, Zillah. They seem to have a decent sense of humor though and a quick Google will show you their Godzilla sculpture.
