From a business perspective it seems like a bone-headed move. Great way to piss off the majority of your potential customers.

So what took Octopus Auto Wash out? Kraken Kar Kare?

Another underemployed Octopus in the Obama economy. Ozzie, suddenly thrown onto the healthcare exchanges, cannot find an affordable policy that will handle his unique healthcare needs. He is said to be considering working as an independent contractor in the child seat restraint field, since puffy coats are dangerous.

Did you expect no repercussions from the defeat of Spectre by James Bond? Clearly, many of its comrades will decline.

steve uhr,

The five locations were bought by a national chain. It's not exactly obvious which name you use after the takeover.

Answering "fuck you" works.

I'll miss the octopus.

So how is an octopus offensive to the SJW? Ohh... the "pus". Misogynistic. The Society For the Perpetually Aggrieved is placated temporarily by the sacrifice of the giant mollusk. What do you mean i cant use mollusk...it has "moll" in it?!

The Big Chicken in Marietta GA still stands, as does the Giant Peach on I-85 in Gaffney. Both are still used as landmarks for getting where we need to go.
