          Meijer Shifty Takers (instead of Thrifty Acres...Might be a Michigan thing)
          Definitely heard that one, but I'm originally from Michigan. My grandmother just refers to the store as "Thrifty".

          A couple of former Michigan chains:

          Get-Em-And-Go = Pit-Em-And-Go, referring to my mother's joke that the reason their hamburgers looked so flat was that they had been processed by being crushed under someone's arm before being put in the bag.

          Hot And Now - Rotten Now. Both of these were crappy burger chains, with the only redeeming feature being that one of them had an olive burger that was pretty decent.

          Oh, and Art Van, the furniture chain which is perpetually having a sale, was, of course, Fart Van.

                As mentioned upthread; Jack in the Crack.

                K-Fart, or, locally we used to have an upscale-ish Department Store Chain, (bought out several years back by Macy's) called The Bon Marche. Thus, another variation of K-Mart is K-Marche. And yeah, Tar-zhay too.

                One of my own; McDoogies, (or Dookies).

                Last year I saw on a site somewhere; "Bloodbath and Beyond".

                We have a local independant owner grocery chain "Thriftway", which I often refer to as "Thriftyway".

                Taco Balls.

                Pizza Butt.

                That's all for now. There's some that seem to be stuck in the back of my head, that haven't made their way forward yet.

                      I've not heard of a lot of these places, but they're all funny! Unfortunately I don't really have any more of my own.

                      Oh, except perhaps Radio Crack (Radio Shack)
