When you’re running a business, you have to be extra creative in setting up your store sign. It’s one of the best ways to catch people’s attention and make them want to step inside and buy your product. Failure to do this can cause problems for your store in the long run.
As inspiration, here are 73 stores with signs that are too creative to ignore.
1. Always be clear with your signs
When you’re making any sign, make sure that you’re sending the right message. Any wrong grammar or missing punctuation mark can end up with situations like this.
Changing the signs often isn’t that easy. Apart from coming up with really nice ideas, you also have to put them up under the heat of the sun which is quite unsafe.
3. Here’s an excellent pick up line
Is that “me and you” or “me in you”? Well, the answer would probably depend on you.
4. As if the sign wasn’t enough
This shop owner wanted to make sure you full understand the name of his business. He even drew an illustration for you.
5. The salon you never knew existed
Admit it or not, your ass hair needs some grooming, too. And for that, we found just the right salon for you.
6. It’s always open, right?
Basically, this sign just means that the pool is open 24 hours. It doesn’t matter whether you’re younger or older than 18 years old. Mmm, right?
7. This sign gives false hope
For those who want to see topless bartenders and get free beers, this isn’t the place for you. Get them somewhere else.
To succeed in any business, you need to make sure you stand out. This business looks like it won’t have a hard time doing that.
9. When your local barber is a fan of action-thriller films
Who can forget Harrison Ford in Air Force One? Well, not this barber. He’s got a barber shop named after the 1997 film.
Looks like everyone’s search ends here. The elusive G-spot has finally been spotted.
Abby, are you alright? Seriously, people are lining up to see you at work.
12. For your shopping convenience
Not all retail stores allow haggling. And if you’re thinking of doing it inside this shop- it’s already been done for you.
As a dog owner, the last thing you want to happen is for your dog to get into the bad habit of smoking. Good thing that this shop doesn’t tolerate it.
Even without any text, this warning is pretty threatening. Well, not for someone who actually wants to get famous on YouTube.
15. Translation gone wrong
It’s hard to determine what’s actually wrong with this sign. Is it the translation or the impression that 3 Americans can weigh as much as 10 people from the area?
While this is great for the said groups of people, what about the others? Where would they pee?
17. When your ice cream has anxiety
You can freely choose the flavor you want, but you should never tap on the glass. The ice cream might end up screaming.
18. What happened with the bear?
The news that the shop is now pet-friendly is great. But what happened with the bear?
19. Every shop needs this
Even if you don’t have any man shitting next to your shop, you should still consider hanging this sign. Your customers would definitely find this sign hilarious.
20. A clever way of pointing you towards the right door
This sign is quite clever. Instead of telling you straight to use the other door, it makes you “try” out the wrong one first.
21. This will make you think
You don’t always get to see alligators high on hallucinogens. This makes the sign’s back story seem quite interesting.
22. The clever life insurance agent
Unless you reject your humanity, you should consider getting a life insurance.
This is everyone’s dream gym. Imagine, you just drive through and you’ll be fit right away.
Not sure what’s included in the menu. However, judging from the cars lining up, it must be pretty good.
25. A good reminder of how a door is supposed to work
Well, if opening doors is that easy, why would you need a locksmith for then?
It doesn’t matter how you do it, but only the thinnest turd is allowed to go through those pipes. Flushing a single turd at a time might work, too.
27. Only one person per day
What about the day after tomorrow? Or the day after that?
Well, unless you are Thomas the Tank Engine, you’re not allowed to stay on the tracks. Seriously, just stay off the tracks.
So, is that a threat or a promise? Well, that depends on who you ask.
Looks like Abby isn’t the only famous person at work. Joe is quite famous, too- but probably for the wrong reasons.
31. Isn’t that the truth?
They really nailed down the truth of all “crap”, I mean, garage sales.
32. Procrastination at its finest
And from the looks of things, the display is off to a great start explaining it.
At least the sign guy is honest in his assessment.
34. Wait, now what’s free here?
Well, technically they are right. But though funny, it’s sure misleading at first.
Never thought of it that way, but I guess their sign does have a point.
These cakes aren’t selling well. Looking at the sign, you probably know why.
37. The list of things you shouldn’t flush
This list is pretty accurate. Make sure to apply it to all toilets.
The spam isn’t the only issue. They take sausages to arrive, too.
39. Think twice before laughing at your wife
Here’s a good reminder of why you shouldn’t make fun of your wife’s choices. Her list includes you.
Reading this can make you momentarily forget how to actually spell it. Is it congratulatchions or congratyoulayseans?
41. That’s an unfortunate name
This is probably the initials that a person would never be proud of sharing with the world. This wine shop, on the other hand, made sure it was the name of the business! What in the world are they thinking naming their business that way?
Use the words “cats”, “meow” and “kitten” in a sentence. Look, this pun totally had them all!
43. This totally made me do a double-take
Whose inn was it again? And why is he big? The owner being big and the inn’s location totally worked in their favor when it came to naming the inn.
44. An alcoholic’s mantra
Who needs water when wine and beer are all you need to get wise and energized? This is definitely an alcoholic’s motto in life.
45. A fan of “Law and Order”
This company definitely knows how to play with words. They even did a tribute to a really popular series in the ’90s.
46. Is that really his name?
This food joint sure looks interesting. I mean, who names their business after urine?
47. Grab a bite at the “poo-ping palace”
Your Thai cuisine experience is not complete until you go to the “poo-ping palace”. It’s definitely the place to beat!
What exactly are they selling in this company? The business sign is certainly a catchy one!
You need a tow? Just look for the Camel Tow. It’s a really popular choice for the guys.
As far as horse’s names go, gotta give them props for coming up with that.
51. This really bold hiring advertisement
This strip joint is bold enough to invite newly grads in the club. Can they have a go at other, more covered jobs first?
52. May the force be with you
Fan of the Star Wars franchise? You may want to check this laundry shop out and see if they hire aliens to wash your clothes.
Want to grab the attention of your customers in the morning? Throw a popular morning saying at them and they will not forget about your product the whole day.

Don’t be confused, he’s not a transgender at all. He’s just here for transmissions.
Girls won’t mind it if you throw rocks at them, especially if the rocks are actually diamonds!
One way to attract customers? Place a really awkward knock-knock joke in front of the shop.
57. Sounds like something offensive
Sounds like something offensive? Read again and read slowly, please.
We really hope this was some sort of a joke. Nobody would walk away unharmed after falling from that height.
A rubber shoe shop for the athletes? The name is so fitting…not!
Asian restaurants can sound weird for people in America. But, we are sure they did not intend to name their business in such a tacky way.
61. What do they do with the letters?
The guy who does the sign for this business is totally mad now that he’s left with numbers to make up for the lost letters. What do the thieves do with the stolen letters anyway?
This sign may have ended weirdly, but really there is one thing clear about all these talk: have a corndog.
Who are we to judge how a company names their business, right? They can a tank a “bus” anytime they want.
The sign guy sounded really desperate with this sign he placed. He even made a joke about sleeping and it’s not the best of joke, but definitely a call for attention so please, someone date him!
65. A problem will not solve another problem, either.
Sure, milk and water are not going to solve your problems. But, alcohol will only lead you to another mistake so think twice, buddy.
66. The perfect doors for your garage
They’re totally well hung! The garage doors, I mean.
Last I heard, lettuce are already fat-free. So, what do you really have to offer now?
68. What you really need for school
Apparently, school can be a bit stressful at times that what you need is not found on books alone. According to this liquor shop, they have everything you need to survive school.
69. It’s the companion, not the destination
Well, this inn’s sign surely sounds a bit off. But, it does not mean that it’s not true.
70. Condoms are not safe?
Condoms may not be infallible, but the sign guy seems to have understood the way the product is unsafe. It’s either that or he is totally making fun of whoever reads the sign.
71. Knowing the right spelling
The food industry is all about food taste, reputation and presentation. But, it is also important to know the correct spelling of things, you know!
72. Where are you, Lenny?
Hey, Lenny, wherever you are, know that everyone at work is waiting for your return.
The signs lined up in this post are placed in such a weird way that you can end up with a totally out-of-this-world sentence if you add them up.
Wow, you’d think naming a business is easy but it definitely isn’t! These companies may have made mistakes in their names and signs, but one thing is for sure in all of them: they are hilarious!
