Hi Honey, I’m At Herculean Hippo!

What’s the obsession with large animals for grocery store names in Columbus? When I lived here, one store was called “Big Bear”, now it’s “Giant Eagle.”

What’s next? “Honey, do you need anything, I’m stopping by Colossal Crustacean.”

“Hey guys, were getting all the stuff for the tailgate party. Who wants to come with us to Mammoth Moose?”

“Kid, can you pick up some milk and bread at Herculean Hippo?”
