Not a pun, but I've always liked the shop on Abbeydale Rd called "I've Gone Mirror Mad!". It sells mirrors.

And I'm sure you're all aware of the fast food chain in Dublin called Abrakebabra...

Chip shops are usually the best. Not sure if it's still there but I always thought "A Salt N Battered" on London Road was really good.

There's a Codfather in York city centre as well - they've really gone for it.

Apparently their £3.50 lunchtime special is "an offer you can't refuse"...

Not a shop name, but a few years back the outdoor shop in Exeter had a notice in the window saying

"Now is the winter of our discount tents"....

I live in Manly so hilarious business names abound. Such gems as Manly Dance, Manly Mexican and Manly Beauty are just a few.

Sheffield is some kind of global epicentre of these pun business names it seems. Every time I'm there I spot another one. Chesterfield's Croc-a-Tile always makes me laugh as their commitment to such an undeniably shit pun extends to a shop front with some kind of cartoon reptilian tile-pimp on it.

In Nottingham the best we can do is a glazers called Smashing Glass and an estate agents called (wait for it) Katie Homes.
