UK Apple Shop Forced To Change Its Name

Posted by timothy on from the but-but-but-the-semantic-web dept.

tlhIngan writes "The Apple Shop, in Norfolk, UK is a little corner store that sells apple products. Not Apple products, but apple products, in this case, cider. However, it's been forced to change its name to the Norfolk Cider Shop. However, the name change did not come from any lawsuit from Apple (the Cupertino one, that is), nor has there been any evidence that Apple (Cupertino) knew about them. Instead, they're changing their name because their phones have been ringing constantly from people seeking help with their Apple (Cupertino) products. Apple (Cupertino) opened an Apple store in 2009 in the nearby (larger) town of Norwich."

    Apple users are generally stupid.

    Had that been the case, them including the service of consulting, repairing, recommending, or selling Apple (Cupertino) branded products or accessories

    Just be a little creative and look past the obvious. Consider what kind of customer buys Apple products and market other products and services to that demographic.

    Old queers often have plenty of disposable cash, so stocking a ready supply of Depends, butt-plugs and other gay paraphernalia would create plenty of earning opportunities.
