Those are great,teddy!!!! Do they have BJ specials every Monday?

And great thinking on your part, gekko re the Peek sign.

Check this link to see a store in San Francisco in the central part of the high end retail area: SanFrancisco

They've downsized the sign a bit, but the store is still there.

Ok, the one of the BJ's remodling....there's a forklift in the picture. I've been called big before, but no one ever needed a forklift!

Kleclere and I have one of these places practically right down the road from us. I'm not sure why they're racing, though...although it might be interesting to watch.

One of my favorites from Wisconsin (southwestern) was Dick's grocery ... don't recall the full name it was like Dick's SuperMart or something along those lines. But you know the little cards we all have hanging from our keyrings now, they called those "Dick's Insider Card" which I always thought sounded a lot like Dicks inside her.

*giggle*

Too cute TB!

I remember Grumble (Ian) saying how funny he thought it was that they'd name a store B.J.'s! *giggle, snort*

TY for sharing:
gekkogecko, thanks for your 'Peek' story. Very cute.

rockintime, have you been in the 'Fcuk' store? I'm just wondering what it's like.

IAKaraokeGirl, lol, would be some race to watch!

maddy, I have to agree, it does sound like that, lmao.

texascubfan, rofl, very funny!!

Lixy, the store brand is 'Berkley & Jensen'. They could have easily reversed it and called it 'Jensen & Berkley' and called the store 'JB's'. Do you think they didn't realize or didn't know what else 'BJ's' could be? Or did they purposely name it that? hmmmmm..... makes ya wonder.

all over Iowa, we have convenience stores called "Kum & Go". I don't have a digicam to take a pic of one for you but here is a link to their website. We call them numerous other names, but my fav nickname is the "Sperm & Split".

And yes it does say in the site, "We try harder to understand and serve our customers." hahahaha what a hoot!

I think Lost has an actual pic of one, I'll have to ask him and see if he will post it for me......

Those stores ^^^ freaked me out when I moved here!
