I don’t care how you say it. Naming your store “Rape” is a terrible marketing idea. Is it pronounce Ra – Pe’? Is it French? I couldn’t resist taking a picture. I like how the girl is there smiling “La dee da, folding pants at the rape store. Hey, why is that gringo taking pictures of me?”.

It's ok.....look they put an accent mark at the end. Now it's not so Rape-ish.
We found the Rape Store at a shopping mall in San Jose, Costa Rica. I really wanted to go in there but then got scared at the last second. Kinda had a prison flashback. Horrible……
COMMENTS?

Maybe this is the same owner that runs the Ramdass Pharmacy in DC? Pronounced just the way it looks.
It's a real pain in the butt to shop here.

haha. are these real? Ramdass is classic!
Yeah, I took the Pamdass pic when I was in DC and the Rape store is in Plaza Carari in San Jose. Right off Highway 1.
Rape does not mean what you point in Spanish, since Costaricans speak spanish, and the word is pronunced “rahpeh” (stressed on the last syllable)
What? They speak Spanish in Costa Rica? Seriously?
Still…….naming the store “Rape” knowing the commonality of English in Central America is silly.
Also, “rape” is not Spanish. Please tell me what it means in Spanish.
Hey! I totally went to that store years ago on a college trip. I have a picture to prove it! (click my profile). Seriously- who would name their store rape?
are you serious?? Ramdass is a popular east indian/ hindu surname. At least RESEARCH things before you post it online. as for the ra.pe store, that is messed up, but are you sure the word rape is used in spanish as well?
Are you serious? DO you actually think people with the last name that sounds like “rammed ass” in English should escape laughter?
If I was in India and my name meant “cow penis” in Hindi I’m sure I would also get a chuckle.
With the rape store, who cares…….. Poor name choice for an international business market dominated by the English language. And funny.
