Shop names

I just logged into the forums and discovered the news. I diligently read the thread, then went to take a look at my friends snapshots and comments. 
I'm not in a hurry, I like savouring the moment :)
And then I saw it - a tower with a shop name!
Something I desired so much had been a personal street name or house name, but this is even better!
So lets hear your cool shop names and the reason you chose them!

  • My shop is The Castle of the Empress. 

    Because every Empress needs a castle, and until we get some castle-shaped house templates, this will have to do.

  • Plain Crystal Bookstore, since it sells the books produced by Plain Crystal Publishing. And like any true bookstore it boasts a coffee shop and will inevitably become overrun with non-book related merchandise before too long. *sigh*

  • I hope I manage to find a name that really pleases me because otherwise I won't sleep tonight!
    I suppose I could use my real shop's name, but wouldn't that be a little boring?

  • I went with the D. B. Cooper Airport Lounge.  D. B. Cooper was the pseudonym used by the guy who pulled off the only unsolved airline hijacking in US aviation history.  Him and the cash he stole are part of the local folklore in Portland, where it happened.  I did my street with a Northwesty feel and wanted a Portlandy bar name, and that just jumped in my head.

  • "Ye Olde Fireplace"

    Because it looks like a fireplace. Geddit?

  • Gallerie Soleil. Because my full moniker is Pascale Soleil. And because it sounds cool. And it has lovely stuff in it.

    Emblem-y!

  • Heh, mine's Tower Building Supplies for now. When that fervor dies down I'll give it a name that better matches the niche I end up falling into.

  • My shop doesn't have a cool name, because I lack creativity these days. So, for the time being, it shall be called "Lilu's Cafe."

  • Mine's not just a shop but a nightclub (with music themed gift shop, stage and shenanigans).

    I call my venue the SKGB (OMFUG) aka Sloth Knockers Glitch Band (Other Music For Uplifting Glitches).

    Why? Cause if the tower is a rockin' we are sloth knockin'

    HEY HO, LET'S GO!

  • ........''The chandeliers were in fact a little on the flashy side and the low vaulted ceil-
    ing from which they hung would not, in an ideal Universe, have been painted
    in that particular shade of deep turquoise, and even if it had been it wouldn't
    have been highlighted by concealed moodlighting. This is not, however, an
    ideal Universe, as was further evidenced by the eye-crossing patterns of the
    inlaid marble floor, and the way in which the fronting for the eighty-yard
    long marble-topped bar had been made. The fronting for the eighty-yard long
    marble-topped bar had been made by stitching together nearly twenty thou-
    sand Antarean Mosaic Lizard skins, despite the fact that the twenty thousand
    lizards concerned had needed them to keep their insides in......''

  • Barnacle Bill's! Arrrr matey! Guess what I sell there?

    Also, lots of street barnacles if you want to spend the time to gather your own.

  • Mine is called "KEEP OUT DAMMIT!"

    I sell dolls, despair, broken dreams, faded hearts, and black marks on your soul.

    Edited to add:

    P.S. I also accept payment in the form of your soul. Come on down! Good deals! Good deals! 

    Edited to add:
    Just kidding about the faded hearts. Those aren't for sale. I'm collecting those.

  • Purple Palace of Pleasure. Selling Purple Sno Cones, Purple Flowers, Purple Essence. Also my leftover building supplies at below AH prices while they last.

    My tower doesn't look purple from the outside, at least not until after you have been hitting the purple.

  • P.S. My tower's REAL name is Bruce.

  • I named mine something stupid just to get some letters up there. However, as I was falling asleep last night, inspiration hit. After I'm done posting this, I'm logging in and changing it to Pants N'at, so any Pittsburgher on my street will feel at home.

    (The link goes to the YouTube video that explains Pants N'at. It is very much a Pittsburgh thing.)

  • I'm thinking mine will eventually be a library or museum. For now, it's called Sneezelips Hall, since I like innuendo.

  • When I finally figure out where to put mine, it's probably gonna be the Otto Otto International House Of Pancakes or OOHOP for short.

  • THE DREAMATORIUM.

    Because "The Dreamatorium is more important than any of us."

  • Mine is currently called THE COFFEE SHRINE, but that may or may not stick.  For now, you can find coffee and herbs, and very soon, bubble tea, there.   Upstairs, you will eventually find a shrine to the shiny thing of no intrinsic value.

  • @ Otto: LOL

  • CLOUD 7 HOTEL because Cloud 9 is already taken...and 7 is a better number anyways.  :)
    Posted 5 months ago by Ari Cloud Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Mine is CAVEAT EMPTOR, Latin for "let the buyer beware."

    http://www.glitch.com/locations/LHV5Q88L03V2628/ 

    I named it that just for fun but I think I will rename it to something that gives some indication to what I will be selling.

    [rant] But I don't know when that will be because we STILL CANNOT PUT FURNITURE INTO SDB's which makes it impossible for us to sell the coolest product we have!  I am super frustrated by this! What, we are all building towers so we can sell parsnips to each other?? I want to make and sell cool upgraded furniture! [/rant]

  • Seeds Galore

    My Auction House convenience store for crop seeds will still be running.  You can buy 3 seed packages at a reasonable price any time you want by using the Auction House.

    Seeds Galore is the place to visit for all kinds of seeds:  crop, herb, or tree.  You can also get your garden and patch replacement supplies there along with guano.  It gives you larger amounts to buy and lower prices, since I don't need to cover the AH fee.

  • Palindrome's Plaza for now. Alliteration. Until maybe I specialize in something and get a better name.
    Posted 5 months ago by Palindrome Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ Miss Bobbit: Palindrome had a good idea today--why not furnish your shop and put signs next to your furniture showing prices? People can IM you in-game if they want to buy.

  • "Guilty Pleasures Emporium": currently only the lobby is complete (essence shop), and the upper level will be finished in the near future (meat-themed restaurant). That's all I have plans for at the moment. The name was chosen because I guess the drugs and red meat can be a guilty pleasure...

  • I decided on Box of Chocolates...because you never know what you're gonna get.

  • Mine is, of course, "Duck Soup".  Even though you can't buy duck soup, or any soup, or actually anything at all.  It's just a tower.
    Posted 5 months ago by Mablem Tiipot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I changed the name of my tower to "Britches and Hoes." It's a much classier establishment now.

  • Neato-Rama, my temple to the odd, unexplained or quirky.  
    Wheeeeeee!   I'm still adding to it.  
    Most Exhibits will rotate, but the Hall of Ancients will be permanent.
