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.

How about.. Meltique?

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

tommy, don't mince words please.  And it's better than MELTSHAKE!  I forgot to bestow the worst name award for that one.  ungrateful glenn

Thanks very much. Where's my prize?!?

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.

Glenn's Melt Shop sounds really good, it has sort of 1950's ring to it.

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 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:

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