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:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“In a time of confusion and rapid change like the present, when terms are continually turning inside out and the names of things hardly keep their meaning from day to day, it’s not possible to write two honest paragraphs without stopping to take crossbearings on every one of the abstractions that were so well ranged in ornate marble niches in the minds of our fathers.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
