Reminds me of the Midwest chain of gas station / convenience stores named Kum and Go, but to the dismay of people who have the minds of adolescent boys they announced this year they are going to be rebranded as Maverik.
Kum and Go got purchased by the parent company of Maverik last year. All the stores are being brought under the same brand. A bunch of Kum and Gos used to be QuikTrips or 7/11s, so it's not the first time.
There used to be a chain of businesses in Grand Junction owned by Gay Johnson. Mostly tires, they started in the 40s and had restaurants as well as truck stops and tire stores. Well regarded, it wasn't a joke. They still sell tires in GJ.
There used to be a Gay Johnson's Kum and Go on I-70 just outside Grand Junction.
This is one I actually saw and took a picture of. It was at a Tractor Supply in Lincoln, Nebraska
Another alligator sign.
And another alligator sign.
This sign is actual quite creative... and sadly necessary... for now.
(Not sure it would actually work. When you steal something is it valued at it's common value, or what it's sold for?)

Besides the Kum and Go's there's also some gas stations in the Midwest called Pump 'N Munch (and interestingly, a second unrelated chain of stores called Munch 'N Pump.)

I traveled up to Moultrie, GA yesterday for an autocross at Spence Field, originally an Army Air Corps training field.
Since I was up there last year, they are using a different area, so I saw this for the first time.
In reply to Floating Doc (Forum Supporter) :
Many don't realize it, but that was very common. About a third of aircrew looses in WWII where the results of training accidents! Looses of actual planes was far higher in non-combat!
...And this was just in the continental U.S. There were many thousands more wrecks and deaths overseas. Looking at totals for the entire war is even more sobering. The U.S. suffered 52,173 aircrew combat losses. But another 25,844 died in accidents. More than half of these died in the continental U.S. The U.S. lost 65,164 planes during the war, but only 22,948 in combat. There were 21,583 lost due to accidents in the U.S., and another 20,633 lost in accidents overseas.
Many more planes were lost due to pilot error or mechanical failure than were shot down by the enemy. More than 1,000 were lost while being delivered to their duty stations from the U.S. So the danger of non-combat flying did not end with the conclusion of training. The planes continued to be unreliable, and to make things worse, once overseas, many green pilots were given the controls of planes in which they had little to no flying experience....

I stumbled across this photo on the internet this morning. It's my gym when they pulled the sign off to paint the building last fall.
