I have since added more lifestyle brands such as Fox, Billabong, Orb, Oakley etc.
About 4 years ago when the ladies shoe store closed (owner retired) I took over some of their lines. Now we expanded the store 3300 sq feet in order to carry Ladies clothing (Joseph Ribkoff, Tribal etc).
Now to the main issue I am facing; I cannot think of a good new name for our store. The current name is John's Men's Wear, which obviously isn't the case now that we carry ladies wear. I would like to keep John (as respect for my grandfather and it's well known in the area) in the name but seem to be having a block when it comes to new ideas for names. I thought I would toss the idea out to CP for some new ideas. Heck if something I really like and use comes up I might have a little gift for the poster!

Did your grandfather have a nickname? Or could you do a play on words with your surname or initials?
Mind telling us where you are located?
