Former Names
The Krusty Krab took its name from the Rusty Krab, a retirement home in Bikini Bottom acquired by Mr. Krabs in 1965 and converted into a restaurant. The Rusty Krab was only seen and stated in the "Krusty Krab Training Video". Ever since the Rusty Krab was shut down, Shady Shoals has been the only known rest home in Bikini Bottom.
The Krusty Krab has changed its name and atmosphere on many occasions. Other names include The Kuddly Krab (opened by Pearl in "Bossy Boots" designed to be a teenage hangout); The Krusty Sponge; Krabby Land, which was a scam made by Mr. Krabs to get money from children; Krabby O'Mondays (a sports-themed restaurant that took over the Krusty Krab in the episode "Selling Out"); and The Krusty Dog (which sold hot dogs made with left over Krabby Patty ingredients);
Krusty Towers was a short-lived hotel business. Mr. Krabs planned on running a more successful and paying business, but service didn't go the way he imagined. The Krabby Kronicle was founded by Mr. Krabs when he sprouted an idea to promote the Krusty Krab, which had no new customers in months, and make some cash. Mr. Krabs installed a printing press. SpongeBob was the reporter/photographer to make up stories. When SpongeBob "messed" it up and made it boring to read, Mr. Krabs forced him to exaggerate and make it exciting.

Famous quotes containing the word names:
“Every man who has lived for fifty years has buried a whole world or even two; he has grown used to its disappearance and accustomed to the new scenery of another act: but suddenly the names and faces of a time long dead appear more and more often on his way, calling up series of shades and pictures kept somewhere, “just in case” in the endless catacombs of the memory, making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost weep.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
