Just wondering if there are any goofy convenience store names where you live.
Typical ones around here "Stop-n-Go"
There's one in the Minneapolis 'burbs called "Pump-n-Munch"

We used to have WaWa stores around here.
They didn't carry FX pedals.

We've got a Howdy Doody in town. Also have two Piggly Wigglys.
"...pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field;
that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."
-Edmund Burke
I like couple of the names in Tim Dorsey's novels about FL:

And I think if you went there after 10 pm or so, you could get one.
I used to have a big insulated mug from there on my bench at my former job. Nice conversation piece.

It's not the convenience stores here, it's other businesses, mostly hair salons like, A Cut Above, The Best Hairhouse in Town, The Clip Joint, and Curl Up and Dye. There's a DIY ceramics place called Play In the Mud and a flower shop called The Sherwood Florist.

If aliens listened to our current top 40, they'd think that the entire planet was populated by sexually ambivalent robots with ethnic insecurity.
There's one on the corner of Foothill blvd and Indian Hill, in Claremont...I used to drive by it all the time.The Sherwood Florist.

we have some named sudden service.
I've seen so many bad pun names for hair salons, that I strongly suspect Neofauve has been involved in the hairdressing business at some stage.

Party Time! is the liquor store down the street from me.
Who needs liquor stores, though, when there's a whole harbor full of boats with bad puns painted on the back:
Whiskey Business
Fuelish Pleasures
Nauti Dog
my personal favorite,
Yachta Yachta Yachta
I could go on and on...

Several guitars in different colors
Things to make them fuzzy

Purely coincidental, I assure you.
Strangely enough, I get my hair cut at a pun-free place.

Long gone, but not forgotten - the local corner store where I grew up was called "Mic-Macs". Run by an oldtimer named Percy MacDonald. He'd never let you get into the store without calling you "girls"...
Others:
Quicker Liquor Booze Delivery - not a store, but close.....
Couche-Tard - a Quebec convenience store (translated to "late-nighter") - apparently there's some in Ohio and Oklahoma....bizzare...I'd love to hear those words are pronounced there....
In Quebec, it's not a corner store unless it's prefixed with "Depanneur", i.e. Depanneur L'Etoile Fiante, Depanneur L'Escale

That's the nickname for our NEW Hooter's location.
