Tulsa’s Most Annoyingly Unoriginal Business Names

October 12, 2010

There are businesses that successfully brand themselves with a name that captures the essence of their product.  For example, Whataburger or Steak and Shake.

Then, there are those who’ve squeezed the last bit of neurons from their brain cells to create something unoriginal and annoying.  For example, Burger or The Freeze.

This is about the later.  These are Tulsa’s most annoyingly unoriginal business names.

• Facial Nails

Scrape off the outer crust of your skin to reveal a more youthful, scarred and tetanus-immersed you.  Relax, rejuvenate and reroof.

• Cheapest Auto Insurance

Located southeast of 31st and Mingo, a Hispanic-rich area of the city.  Perfect for undocumented … cars.

• Light

It could be a church.  It could be a lamp shop.  It could be a beer.

• Batman’s

I’ll talk to my manager about your offer.  I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the deal I’ll pretend you’re getting.

• On A Roll

Other ideas tossed around:  On a Plate, Next to a Napkin, Under a Fork, With Mustard, To the Right of the Cup, Northeast of the Restroom, Across from Arby’s and Through the Bowels.

• Church in Tulsa

Visit here for the latest in cult fashion: denim dresses, capes and Bumpits.

• The Freeze

Kid tested, glock approved.

• Let’s Eat

More like ‘Let’s Open.’  It would be easier to sample the food if the restaurant unlocked their doors during business hours.  I guess we should be grateful they didn’t choose “Num Nums,” “Swallow,” or “Squat and Gobble” as a name.

    I’m really depressed now.

    I like that The Church has (Sun) after Lords Day. Otherwise, how would I have known?

    My personal favorite is Kum and Go. Worst name — ever.
    I’m surprised Tulsa didn’t revolt.

    I LOVE facial nails. Every time I drive by I laugh out loud. Good job putting that on this list.
