I'm pretty sure Utah it the capital of small start up businesses. Could the high failure ratehave to do with the establishments name? Or just the crappy merchandise? -Here are some fabulous examples:
- kinder winkel
- A children's clothing boutique. I'm sure there's darling stuff in there, but I just can't bring myself to step foot in your store. Sorry Winkel.
- guadalahonky's
- I can only assume a Mexican meets "Cracker" restaurant? The little logo is a donkey with sunglasses, apparently that exemplifies the two cultures...
- pebbles in my pocket
- A scrapbooking joint. Need I say more?
- pudding on the rice
- I can only assume its play on words for "Puttin' on the Ritz" which is horrific in its own rite. But in addition, its a restaurant that has dedicated its entire menu to gourmet rice pudding. I'm not sure what that even means.
- knee shorts
- "Walking shorts and modest apparel" - because a good pair of walking shorts sure is hard to find.
- La Vigna
- An Italian restaurant: I know other states have restaurants with the same name - just a different franchise I guess. But one things for sure - their big sign does NOT look like it says La Vigna. Just do some letter scrambling and you'll see what I mean.
and the
piece de resistance:
- husband and wife
- This is a novelty store dedicated to "strengthening marriages by encouraging intimacy". I wonder if you have to flash a marriage certificate to get through the door....there's too much to say about that one, so I'll just leave it alone.
Also - please note I have not set foot into any of these establishments. Although curiosity may kill the cat on that last store. I'm not sure what "tasteful, comfortable, clean intimacy items" means, but I'm dying to find out.
