I am once again turning to my friends (old and new) in this
newsgroup to help me rename the store to something that is unique
and descriptive, that also reflects the stock change from strictly
marine to marine supplies, Liquor, beer, and convenience items
(milk, bread butter etc)
Let's have some fun with this and see if we can't pull a rabbit out
of a hat in the process. Any names you've seen at other marinas you
thought worked well too?
I should have told you guys/gals this is for the store only. We have
a separate marina building on the water for service, and a separate
sales location on the highway 7 miles away for boat/motor sales. In
other words, no need to include 'boats' in the description. The name
is for the store only and the "Brown's Marina" part will be listed on
the sign above the name I eventually choose.

Here's a more detailed list of items being sold:

Pop, mixes (clamato, OJ etc), chips, chocolate bars, cigars, cigarettes
Milk, bread, eggs, bacon, etc
Fishing tackle & worms
Marine supplies (life jackets, fenders, ropes, safety equipment etc)
Liquor, wine, beer
T-shirts/souvenirs
Water toys (skis, inflated towables, wakeboards, kneeboards etc)

Many thanks to those who have contributed already, I hope this new
list helps the focus a bit.

I've already gotten my money's worth on some of the humour already. ;-)

I'm hoping that elusive really catchy name is out there somewhere and
would consider a prize to the one who nails it for me. :-)

Apu's Kwik-E-Mart & Slushies





I've been thinking... Brown's Pussy Paradise & Bait Shop. That would
bring in the traffic.


Slim pickin's at home, huh? The lobster boat didn't turn out to be a
chick magnet due to its lack of existence? So here you turn...
