Past or present. This one has been closed for years and I can see why it didn’t survive.

  1. Ats us nai in Lisburn, cringe. One of the best though is Sew it Seams, great play on words

  2. There’s a business near me called “Pee Lavery” that does drain and sewer clearance

  3. Saw a van the other day with “Jim’ll Fix It”. That’s just tone deaf as fuck.

  4. Grew up near Bushmills. There used to be a chippy on the Main Street called the Cods Way.

  5. There is/was a place in Lisburn that sold fake grass called ‘The Unreal Grass Company’

  6. Don’t know if it’s still there, ‘ Mike hunt, cycle repairs’

    (In shops, Belfast)

  7. There’s a Chinese in ~~Magherafelt~~ Moneymore that’s just called “Calorie”

  8. Used to be a chippy in the town called BJs. It was actually very good indeed. There was usually a large queue out the door.

  9. This was in the south but Pinky Moo Moos was a pretty shite name.

  10. Two I remember from the 90s: a fireplace shop called Alexander the Grate, and a place for door handles called Knobs n Knockers 

  11. BJ Fish & Chips in Lisburn Town centre in guessing they only sell trout.

  12. The wee man’s shop the inn shops with the bongs and such

  13. Holemasters, the one with the big brown ring for a logo is the answer, scroll no more

  14. Some Belfast businesses seem to go out of their way to espouse ugliness and low breeding to be blunt about it
    Pug Ugly
    Dirty Onion
    Fix Yer Crack (a mobile phone repair business)
    Thirsty Goat
    Jeggy Nettle

  15. This shop name actually really bugs me and any time we have to drive past it, I can’t help but mention it to my husband. It just really irks me to no end. It’s terrible for so many reasons

  16. Used to be a chippy in Bangor called ‘A Salt and Battered’. Pun doesn’t really work and it’s in pretty bad taste, but hey, made me laugh.

  17. There was a sandwich shop off the shore road in Belfast I remember called “Sarnie Schwarzenegger”

    Always gave me a giggle.

  18. VAG Service Centre

    (Volkswagen & Audi Group Specialist)

    Not a local company but there’s one in Newtownabbey – poor choice of acronyms…
