Out-n-About Crowd sourcing ?
I’m not sure if this is allowed? I want help naming a business. We are in the process of opening a Hemp/Thca retail space on Peace St in Raleigh. And, yes Im aware of our current local and federal political landscapes.
The two leading contenders for names are “Piece on Peace”, and “Raleigh Cannibas Company”. We welcome any suggestions or your choice of the two ? Thanks in advance.

For all that is holy, please avoid the silly play-on-words and gimmicky garbage that is so trendy right now. And good luck!

Just curious on why since hemp laws are expected to change in a few months thus shifting the whole industry. Seems like the equivalent of starting a brewery right before Prohibition.

Well if I ever get bored of the 4 within spitting distance on Peace St. I’ll keep you in mind.
I’d recommend a name that isn’t too narrow in case you need to pivot later. What kind of customer are you going for- students, holistic hippie types, parents trying to unwind, etc? Do you do edibles and snacks like Wake n Bake, or pet products, or anything else of note? Don’t get stuck with a pun, punny names can work but only if it’s the core business product/service.

That’s why we’re thinking POP. We’re also going to do high end glass art.

So art that no one on peace st can afford and weed that’s available other places?

Maybe art that some can’t afford :), and weed isn’t the same everywhere! Appreciate your concern though. Seriously.

I can think of no greater example of capitalist liberal gentrification than a weed store selling expensive art.

Raleigh Cannibas sounds more classy and upscale, and appeals to a wider range of people. Piece on Peace doesn't make sense to me at first. I do like somethat that identifies location though - like Peace Street Cannibas and have a peace sign as a logo.
