I was on a freebie site and came across this store name. I think it is a convience store somewhere. KUM AND GO

It just brought bad thoughts to my head.

What is a store name that is weird that you have seen?

In Toronto there's a money exchange that puts $ too close to "exchange", so it reads, "$exchange"

The "Bimbo" foodstores all over Mexico are amusing to English-speakers...

The one you've mentioned.

Also, a set of two businesses, side by side. Each had its own sign - which were similar in size, color, design, and lettering. And were quite close to each other.

On the left was a shoe store that specialized in running shoes. On the right, a law firm.

The law firm had several partners - their names were, if memory serves, run across the top of the sign in rather small letters. The second line of the law firm's sign had the short, descriptive phrase, "attorneys at law" in much larger letters.

By itself, that law firm's sign was good marketing - let people know what sort of business it was from more than a block away.

Problem was, from a distance the two signs looked like one sign that read "ON THE RUN ATTORNEYS AT LAW".

There was a restaurant where I used to live named "Seaman Jack's." No wonder they went out of business.
