'Slang' in the business title
I am wondering what your reaction would be initially, while going through the county publication I saw the ribbon cutting for a new business in town: "Mo' Coffee Please" www.mocoffeeplease.com. My girlfriend seems to think its catchy, I think its kind of dumb but I'm no expert on the subject.

I understand what they're trying to do and I am blk myself but it still does not appeal to me.. the county we're in is pretty diverse so I don't really get it.

Yeehaw
I do my best to avoid any business with slang or intentional misspellings in the name. The worst is when they use a K instead of a C for no apparent reason. "Krazy Kustoms" and that shit.

i never liked krispy kreme myself...but not 'cuz of the name, i don't like donuts.
Point is, what difference does it make? if they provide a good service and/or product at a good price, then what's the difference? 2Fast2Furious sucked because of the movie, not because of the title.

Krispy Kreme is one of the worst offenders.

Where is my super sauce?
The use of such slang or intentional misspelling make the proprietors look uneducated. If there was a choice, i would give my business elsewhere. Such stuff annoys me too. As stated above, it is a business decision and an attempt to grab the attention of a certain demographic. I'm not in that demographic.
I suppose the conclusion is that when one attempts to attract a certain demographic, one should be wary about excluding others.

Unless your target is a specific type or subsection, I don't think it's good idea.
I think it's dumb too.

I beg to differ. What is it you folks think of Dunkin Donuts? There is a Chinese Restaurant near me named Da Ho. I think they were first going for a cute name. The Web Site appears to be well done.
Now if the name was something like Sambos which did exist in the recent past, I'd understand.
