shank



While walking the small downtown section of Santa Rosa, CA during my journey to Sonoma County, I stumbled upon a men's clothing store. Um, Shank? Who thought it was a good idea to name it that? Yes, a shank can be used in a shoe. But is that really the first thing we all think about when hearing this oh so common prison term? Or maybe I am jaded because of too many viewings of HBO's Oz. If the store was open, I would of walked in and asked what inspired the owner to call his business Shank. What unusual store names have you seen? Send them in and we can make a top ten list.

Yelp - if you're interested

shank is defined on the store front
