Stuff Mart and Other Ill-Advised Business Names

By Alex in Pictures, Travel on Feb 22, 2008 at 7:50 pm

A few days ago, our pal mental_floss blog put up this epic Ill-Advised Business Names post, filled with photos of bad business names as taken by the blog’s readers.

I quite like this particular one: Stuff Mart. It’s kind of humble, don’t you think? Their tagline "We got some real good stuff" would even work for Neatorama!

    The “Stupid Prices” one is actually found near here (it’s a chain of closeout stores found in California, Oregon and Washington that sell mostly furniture and some home electronics.) For a while they actually had hats with the words “Stupid customer” printed on them available in the store. I suspect those were given away mostly to the people who annoyed the staff…

    Here in L.A. there used to be a chicken restaurant called “Peckers”.

    In Orange county I saw a furniture store called “Two Stupid Guys Selling Furniture”.

    If you want a big hat
    We got that
    If you need a tub of glue
    We got two…

    Hey, I’ve been to Stuff Mart. I liked Stuff Mart. They had some good stuff. The problem with lists like these is it’s clear that a lot of these guys just got a sense of humor about themselves. It’s like the South Lake Union Trolley here in Seattle. We knew it spelt Slut. We thought it was funny. We sold T-shirts. Then everybody took it seriously and the named got changed. I tell ya, I don’t want to meet the man who takes public transportation seriously.

    My restaurant doesn’t even have a name. There’s a picture of a hamburger in the window. That’s it. When I answer the telephone I just say “hello.”
