Since you dont' want it to sound too upscale and you are serving grilled cheese - how about if it you call it The Cheese Grill or even Melt Grill.

how about "The Melt Shop"

thats sort of a variation on "Malt Shop". And technically, you are offering ice cream as well.

Hmmm... interesting. How 'bout "Melt Factory?" And of course, have a warehouse chic decor.

you have to be kidding me with this new quote/reply stuff at the bottom and the post and everything.

anyway, "melt factory" sounds like a cheesy dance club. excuse the pun.

speaking of cheesy, the Meltcheese Fountain.

a ridiculous play, of course, on words of a Bogart movie. the lowest form of humor. and one that i practice every chance i get.

I do like Melt Shop. I like Glenn's Melt Shop better. But I think I'll stick with Melt if I end up in a stodgy office building and consider something else if I'm on JC's famed and defamed restaurant row.

Oh no, I'm trying to stay far away from retro! After all, I'm a modern man ;-0.

And tommy, no, but you can call me cheese louise. I should change Anabelle's name to Louise so I could use that one.

Haven't you heard? Retro is the new Modern.

You should keep practicing. Maybe eventually you'll get good at it.

I like Melt Shop though. It implies melted stuff and also milkshakes.

I agree, I like Meltshop. It's not stuffy and it's clever and it's descriptive!

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best --" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. - A.A. Milne

glen I just saw your request on the NY board for info on pickles and chutney..it seems that the store is a bit more "gourmet" ( I hate that word) than I perceived from this thread, and so I am going to vote for MELT.

Chez Cheese

I think this one is hilarious...You can make the logo a picture of a cow with a giant tongue drooling over a grilled cheese sandwich, slurring his speech while having his picture taken. Oh, and he should be drunk...and surly...

Wait, drunk, surly, slurring speech...sounds like me anytime I go out with Tommy.. :biggrin:

surly for sure.

a search of "chez cheese" returns pages. and there's a Chez Cheese in northern NJ already which might pose a problem.

Actually, the Morristown store used to be Cest Cheese, not Chez...

How about:

Ooze and Ahhs?

ok, never mind.

or if you need to "downscale" a classy name like "Melts", what about "Ultimate Melts"  or something like that?

or "Grilled Cheese, Please"

i like ooze and ahhs
