A question for you all! If you had a corner store, what would you name it?

I've been noticing corner store names lately. They seem to vary on either "regular folks names" of a certain sort, initials (which are probably someone's name(s)), or words meant to convey that you will quickly stop in and leave. Kwik Mart, Pit Stop, TJ's Market, Henry's Market & Deli. I have the impulse to scribble down all the corner store names I see while I'm driving around San Francisco.

Anyway, what would you name yours if you had one and spent a lot of time there every day? There you are! Behind the counter selling cigarettes, fortys, tortillas, cans of chili, vaguely suspicious sandwiches, 5 dollar gallons of milk, pepsi, and loaves of wonder bread, at...

I used to live by a place in Berkeley called "Bi-Rite Liquors".

I guess there's a grocery store by the same name in San Francisco, too.

It seems like a very Bacchanalian name to me.
