Watch Me Franchise!

There are literally thousands of businesses out there that sell franchises. Some franchises have really straightforward names like Kentucky Friend Chicken or Pizza Hut, and others have crazy names that have nothing to do with the services or products they provide. The Watch Me Franchise team has put together the following list of the top ten craziest franchise names. We want to see if you can guess what products or services each of these businesses specialize in.

10 ) 10 til 2

http://www.tentiltwo.com/

Our thoughts:

The name of this franchise sounds like a bar’s hours of operation. Maybe some type of hot new franchise nightclub that’s only open from 10 PM till 2 am where all the “it” people would chill.

In reality:

Our assessment wasn’t completely off. This franchise is actually a part-time job placement service, apparently targeting people who would only like to work between the hours of 10 am and 2 PM.

9 ) Oogles n Googles

http://www.ooglesngoogles.com/

Our thoughts:

Anything with the name Google in it has to be something Internet or search engine related, right?

In reality:

They actually are a company that specializes in fun parties for children, and if you can get past the overly cute flash graphic on their site it’s actually a pretty good idea. But with Google suing every one who mentions their name it’s probably only a matter of time before Oogles n Googles gets a nasty letter from Google’s team of lawyers.

8 ) Tapioca Express, Inc

http://www.tapiocaexpress.com/

Our thoughts:

A franchise restaurant that sells tapioca pudding to go? It sounds like a million-dollar idea; people just love their tapioca pudding!

In reality:

It doesn’t even look like they sell tapioca at all. However, with healthy looking foods like wheat coffee, what in the world are they doing with tapioca in their name?

7 ) Rollerz

http://www.rollerz.com/

Our thoughts:

Ok so again I think we have two main options here. Rollerz could either be some type roller-skating business, maybe a throwback to the glamorous roller-skating days of the 70s? Or maybe it’s some type of hair salon filled with women sitting under hair dyers with rollers in their hair.

In reality:

It’s a restaurant that specializes in healthy foods that are “rolled into a tasty tortilla.” Sounds good enough, but check out the crazy eyed guy on their website. It’s like he’s trying to hypnotize us into wanting to eat healthy. Who else has a sudden craving for a salad with low fat ranch dressing?

6 ) I Take The Lead

http://www.itakethelead.com/

Our thoughts:

This seems like a pretty straightforward business. With a name like I Take The Lead what else could you think of besides some type of dancing lessons?

In reality:

It is some type of sales lead generation business that provides other businesses with leads and referral systems. I guess, as with any business you need to have a catchy name.

5 ) It’s Just Lunch

http://www.itsjustlunch.com/

Our thoughts:

It’s Just Lunch? Well it definitely sounds like a restaurant, maybe one specializing in lunch foods like sandwiches or wraps?

In reality:

It’s a dating service specializing in low stress match making for “busy professionals.” Sounds good enough, but check out this question and answer on the what to expect part of their website. “What’s your success rate? Very high!”

4 ) Crack Team, The

http://www.thecrackteam.com/

Our thoughts:

Well this business sounds like it could be one of two things. First it could be some type of drug delivery service, possible specializing in efficient delivery of crack? Or it sounds like it could be a team of plumbers who instead of wearing belts or better fitting pants decided to own the fact that they show crack.

In reality:

This franchise actually focuses on cement crack repair, which makes sense, but the funniest part of what they do has to be their official mascot. Go check out their site and you will see him, Mr. Happy Crack. However, he isn’t just a weirder looking version of Sponge Bob Square pants, he actually gives meaningful advice “a dry crack is a happy crack.” Ain’t that the truth.

3 ) My Girl Friday

https://egirlfriday.ppcserver.net

Our thoughts:

Since when did female escort services become franchise businesses? Maybe they market towards people who are lonely on Friday nights? It may be inappropriate but with a name like My Girl Friday, what else is there to think?

In reality:

My Girl Friday is a business that provides concierge and personal assistant services to busy professionals. Check out this quote from their website, “My Girl Friday works with each individual to develop a plan of action that enables a client to feel as if they have accomplished the task themselves.” Now without going too far out on a limb, I’m betting their client’s probably don’t care if they feel like they accomplished the task themselves or not.

2 ) Gimme Sum

http://www.gimmesum.com/

Our thoughts:

This sounds like some type of Asian restaurant. To be honest this probably isn’t that misleading of a name, but we just loved the name so much that we had to include it in our list.

In reality:

Gimme Sum is in fact an Asian restaurant which isn’t that odd on its own, but we did find something interesting on their website. Go to GimmeSum.com and click on “Gallery” in the top right corner and look at some of their pictures. Yes, I guess the ancient saying is true. Nothing sells Asian food better then hot, half naked, girls posing in front of Scion xBs.

1 ) Wholly Crap

http://www.whollycrap.com/

Our thoughts:

Well, what is there to say about Wholly Crap besides the fact that we absolutely love their name?

In reality:

There really aren’t words to describe Wholly Crap… It’s a pet waste removal service, and besides having the funniest name in the world they also have a hilarious website. Check out the animation of the dog using the pooper-scooper! And with Christmas around the corner, do not forget to pick up your very own Wholly Crap T-shirt.
