Business names:
- Stronger for Longer ~ Name of a battery store.
- Choice Cut for Choosy People ~ Deli, grocery, meat store.
- Haberdashery ~ I'm not sure I've ever even seen a haberdashery store, but in Jamaica they abound, a holdover, I suppose, from their recent British past.
- Liquor and Ice Cream ~ The store with something for everybody.
- Long and Strong ~ A party store.
- FDR ~ Franklyn D Resort.
- Art's Car Park ~ I saw several of these, kinda like a chain business. I never could figure out if it was a parking lot or a car dealer, but at least it rhymes.

And, the WINNER! Seen at a gas station:

I've seen a haberdashery. Never a battery store, though.
