What The "Plus" Means In Many Store Names


Awards Plus
"Plus" = the nagging feeling that you could have done better in the three-legged race.


T-Shirts Plus
 "Plus" = pit stains, quick-fading graphics and denial of admission into nightclubs.


Best Western Plus
"Plus" = bed bugs and cum on the ceiling


Wigs & Plus
"Plus" is redundant here with the ampersand. Like who talks like that. Here "plus" stands for the waning popularity of the recording artist Pink even though she currently has several songs on the Top 40 charts.


Dollar Plus & Convenience Store
Another redundancy- putting "plus" after the ampersand is no improvement. "Plus" here stands for unenthusiastic service from a teenager on her cell phone.


Shuttle Bus Plus
"Plus" = pus
