I got a catalog today in the mail for "The Paper Store" and was surprised to see no paper or paper products in it all! They are at several malls I have been to, but I never go or look inside because they are so heavily perfumed, so I was really surprised to find clothes, trinkets, shoes, purse, general stuff - but no paper in the catalog! And Yankee Candles - which explains the scents wafting from it ...
Have you ever encountered a store whose name was completely inaccurate like that?

We have The christmas Shoppe. It has Christmas stuff at Christmas, but all year long it has everything else under the sun from pencils to dish soap and comforters for the bed.

Oh, yes - The Christmas Tree Shop is local here - and they never have trees except fake ones leading up to Christmas!

The local Staples never has any Staples (literally been there twice for that sort of incident)...one day Panera Bread ran out of bread.It's slightly irritating when you're craving a good sandwich.
That is funny that it has no paper products, you'd think it was a stationary store!

We have one here called Biz Store. You would expect office things. Nope, they have ethnic furniture and everyday household items.

I can't think of any mis-named stores, but I have gone to KFC for a bucket of chicken, only to be told that they are out of chicken!And this has happened more than just one time too!

How about Olive Garden? Not many olives and no garden.

When I lived in Cambridge, I worked at MIT for a long time. MIT had a club for employees that arranged visits to various attractions and events. One time there was an announcement from them of a trip being arranged to the Christmas Tree Shop in Falmouth or somewhere in that general direction.
I thought this was going to turn out to be a cute little New-Englandy craft shop, so I signed up for the trip. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was another big cheap-junk store like K-Mart! I don't remember if I bought anything there or not. Anyway, it was an interesting expedition.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.

Sadly, there is olive oil in most everything there, so the "olive" part of the name is actually true. Which is why I can no longer eat there, being allergic to olives in any form!How about Olive Garden? Not many olives and no garden.

I shop at Jewel -- but they sell groceries! Not a diamond, emerald or ruby in the place.
