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:
“No, no! I don’t, I don’t want to know your name. You don’t have a name, and I don’t have a name, either. No names here. Not one name.”
—Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)
“I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
