I used to work in an office at the top end of William St in Melbourne. Downstairs was an interior decorator who has a hearse as his work vehicle.
The business was called, "It's Curtains for You". I was looking for details of a builder in New Zealand and stumbled across the business "Appetite for Construction". A smart business name will get you a long way. What clever busines names have you known? |

There's a building company in Melbourne that I believe have since changed their name but they were doing a development somewhere down Mordialloc way called 'Hooker Cockram'.

In Charlotte, NC, there was (perhaps still is) a sandwich shop that made large burrito-like sandwiches (twisted shut on both ends). The shop was called Food Doobie.
In the '80s there was a budget car rental agency called Rent-A-Wreck. I used to drive by a used car lot called "Shiddy Sales," with the slogan "Why rent a wreck when you can buy one?" There was a shoe repair shop here in Orlando called Shoes Brothers. They had an old police car similar to the Bluesmobile.

I've seen a plumber's van with the slogan, "If it weren't for your plumber, you wouldn't have anywhere to go."
Also, a portable toilet tanker truck with the slogan, "Let's get ready to potty."
