Mad
Shops
Or at
least companies whose NAME has madness in it
As a mad person myself, and someone who runs a profitable company, I am amused by the proliferation of businesses whose names over the shop door has "mad" or "crazy" or some other inference to insanity in the title. Of course these businesses aren't usually mad in a literal sense, but are more typically trying to attract customers on the basis that as the shop is run in an insane way, the prices might be very attractive, in comparison to somewhere that is run on an entirely sane basis where they have to make a profit. Another context of madness in the shop name is where the shop caters for people who are fanatical about the line of business. Plus, there's a further context where the customer has been made mad by what's going on in the market.
Here are a few companies with lunacy in the name of the business...

Mad Gringo - tropical fashion
Crazy Like A Fox - home business - Get Rich scheme
Loopy Lotto - see lotteries
Loopy Mobile Phones - see mobile phones
