To be perfectly honest the person opening the shop is a huge superman fan (hence the name clark) and the shtick in superman is that most of the names start with the same sound (clark kent, lana lang, lex luther, etc. etc.) so he thought clarks coffee shop would be good.

Either way as soon as it opens i will invite all of dansdeals readers to the shop to taste the coffee for themselves and see how amazing coffee can really be. If you see the thread i started in just shmooze you will see that I too am crazy about coffee.

Well the name of the coffee shop isn't going to make the shop profitable. May as well use that space for vital advertising of other things that would bring the customer in to the store.

The last one was me hitting some random keys on my keyboard.

Do a survey of consumers that drink coffee outside the major chains. I bet you the results would show many of them do not know the name of their favorite coffee shop and they only remember it by taste and location.

I accept your bet, $10 says you're wrong. Branding, especially for successful places, is of great value. Look at the big food franchises as an example.

Thank you very much, I said outside the big chains.

For legal purposes, your bet is denied.

You're just proving my point. Starbucks started as one location, their branding is a big part of their success. Granted name isn't all of branding, there are other elements at play as well, but it is definitely a factor.

But even without the major chains, I accept your bet $10 is my wager. If someone here is willing to conduct a survey of their friends. I'll cede that someone who frequents a non-brand might describe their favorite place by its location, I'll bet they (usually, more times than not) know what it's called.

According to shimon, you can call the place: "Starbucks, the only good coffee", or "just 2 houses to the right, at half the price".

(v) deny (refuse to grant, as of a petition or request) "The dean denied the students' request for more physics courses"; "the prisoners were denied the right to exercise for more than 2 hours a day"

If this person plans on running a chain of coffee shops then they wouldn't be asking a friend to ask on DD for name suggestions. Can we stop living in a delusion. Neither name suggested is suitable for a chain.

shimon with the small 's' is the same guy as Shimon with the capital 'S', except that the small 's' is at a later stage.

He earned it through his heartfelt comments full of empathy on the weed topic.

I am not sure why you think so lowly of these forums to say that obviously this guy isn't making a chain. Second of all u are assuming the forums is the only place he Is asking. Thirdly u come taste the coffee/baked goods and decide for yourself if it should be a chain :-)
