Nashville has a Pub and Laundry combined down near Vandy.

The bar back is a series of numbered light bulbs that correspond to your washer/dryer number.

We've got a place like that in San Francisco called 'BrainWash.' Great idea, what's not to love?

In North Carolina, came across a combination shooting range and animal boarding kennel. Don't be late to pick your dog up....

All inside a little store about 2x the size of a 7-11.

That's the Wyoming WalMart. No one told you, did they?

You should see what's in the gas stations on the Reservation in Montana.

On the corner of Convoy and Clairemont Mesa Blvd for the longest time there was a great juxtaposition of two different shops:
Hemorrhoid Care by Laser, right on top of Banner Mattress.
Guess if you had to wait a while, you could always go downstairs and get a pillow.

In the town next to where I grew up there is an ice cream stand that is also a chinese restaurant. Same owners and they use the same door/window to order.

When I was driving through Tenn. there was a fudge and fireworks place.

And back in the day, when I lived in Columbus, OH, there was a "buy here pay here" car dealership that was also a liquor store.

Also from Tennessee. Smithville, Tennessee to be exact.

And I wouldn't believe it either if I didnt' see it with my own two eyes.

Tim,

while your story indicates you might not remember the name of the joint... it's called Duds N Suds (or at least it was back in the 80's). Been there before, but that was a long long long long long time ago.

Re: Unusual Business Combinations?

We have a local chain of brewpub/restaurant/movie theaters in the area that aren't as unusual, as they are genius. Portland is a pretty beer-centric city, so if theres something you need to get done, theres a pretty good chance that theres someone who will give you a beer while you do it. A pretty common combination here is a barber shop where a haircut includes a pint. :D

The shop my father gets his lawn mower repaired at also doubles as his butcher.

A strip mall with a sushi restaurant right next door to a bait shop.

Here in suburban Minneapolis I know where there is a Chinese restaurant next door to a kennel where you leave your dog or cat when you go on vacation. :D

My barber shop has a walk-in humidor and a smoking lounge. This combination should occur more frequently.

When I was in Niagara Falls, Canada Side there were strip clubs with hotels in the back if you go to the outskirts of town. Funny but the girl I was with pointed it out.

When I was in my early twenties, there was a place called the "Charlie Club" in a Chicago suburb. It had a health club, a bar and a hotel.

Meet a hottie in the gym, buy her an after-workout drink, and va va va voom. :)

All States Cremation AND Dolce Siciliant Italian Bakery in Denver, CO. The bakery was once a sausage / meat shop, but that was just too goofy I guess.

Not to ruin the funny, but it is just a storefront, they do not bake the folks there!
