I have been given the opportunity to open up my own sandwich shop. I have some local friends on MFP so please do not let others know yet. I will open it around May 3rd and it is going to be in my area. I have never done this before and never thought that I would but I am going for it and I am really excited. I am going to be open from10-2 Tues.-Sat. I will serve hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, subs/sandwiches and etc. I would LOVE to have some suggestions for a name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not think of anything!!!!

Please let me know what you think...............:bigsmile:

    Awesome! I am jealous. I would love to open some of food shop. Like an organic bakery. Or a fancy muffin shop. Someone already beat me to the cupcake stand at our mall.

    I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Google tips for naming a business and you will get some ideas of at least what to avoid.

    I thought it would be easy but come to find out very difficult. So many laws and things to do. I am going to add on as I get into it and will have some treats...muffins sound good:)

    The Filling Station

    Reuben's (A reuben is a classic sandwich)

    Earl's (since the sandwich was invented by the Earl of Sandwich)

    Sangers, Sarnies, Butties (Aus or UK slang ) (I quite like The Golden Butty....)

    Munch-time

    Whatever the name, be sure to include at least one amazing, yummy and HEALTHY sandwich on your menu (I like to use pesto instead of mayo on mine) and include the calorie listings so folks like us can get lunch at your store every day and stay on track. :)

    Will do!! I am going to add more items once I get started! I will include the wheat bread and baked chips so maybe some will come?

    Random thoughts...


    You want it to reflect a place where people want to hang and "have fun"
    How can people relate to as far as food, or good times.
    Like the "lunchbox" sounds quick, like concessions... get in eat quick and go.
    Have it be different and a name that is enticing...

    Go with that see what you get... I will be thinking on it for you today!

    (Family has a place that we help at often that has been in town for 40 years called George's Grill .... not original but the key to success has been a few signature things that only THEY have and people come from all over just to eat it)

    Thanks girl!!! You are always there for me! My brother n law would love for me to name it George's Grill...that is his name and he has mentioned that:) He wants to come and help me run it when I get ready for him. I do know that we do not want a girly name?? My hubby says with me running it there will be lots of guys coming in...lol. We do have so camo items going in there:)

    What's the atmosphere going to be like and what sorts of folks to you hope to attract? Is it country? City? Family? Yuppie? I'd think of a name that relates to the type of place you'd like to have!

    We are a small town. One town next to us just closed the last eatting place. The other town has a DQ, Subway BUT you have to drive some and get out on the 4 lane. Alot of people don't want to do that. There is another hot dog place that does great but has a real bad attitude towards people. I will have more to offer than her. I will be in a medium sized building. It is around a gun shop and a military surplus store. I WILL be the only female around...LOL. It is country!! If you want to eat you have to drive about 35 minutes away to get to the 2 big towns? Any ideas?

    You should name it "I Don't Know" so that way when people get asked what they want and respond with I don't know, they'll have a place to go!! My mom always tells me she should open one called that :)
