I would add your last name as well to the name. John's Clothiers still sounds like a men's wear store.

John ________ Clothiers if you have to keep the John. Last name only of you can get away with it.

Whatever you do, don't change it so much that someone who hasn't been in a while thinks John's closed and it's a new store with new owners.

Just change the name on the outside to "John's" but leave your business name as John's Mens Wear.

That way everyone knows you're still John's. And you don't have to come up with a weird new name!

Have it as your grandpas full name.

John "surname". It'll be like Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, etc..... The logo can be whatever your Grandpa's signature was. If it's hard to read.. redesign it so that it's similar yet more readable.

Controversy is free advertising, keep that in mind.

I would think that in Stettler people will know that the business is relatively the same, even with a new name? Hopefully you have thought that part through though.

As a Beastie Boys fan I would have to talk myself out of naming it "Paul's Boutique".

I think it's obvious now.
