I live in Maine. Land of lobster. We catch it, we cook it, we eat it and we promote it to draw tourists into our glorious state. A good portion of our economy is based on that (delicious with melted butter) bottom dwelling crustacean.
So really, the least we can do?
Is spell it correctly…
.

Lobester.
I cringe every single time we drive by this farm stand/market and read their horrible sign. I shake my head, I roll my eyes, and I sputter.
It’s been that way forever… and it takes every ounce of willpower I possess not to grab a can of paint and drive an hour and a half back to fix it.
Lobester. In Maine.
WTF!

River's world..... 
I tastes great no matter how you spell it.

Well, if it must be misspelled, LOBESTER is certainly better than LOWORSTER.

The customers are split? That’s because it’s funny as hell and it’s their signature for the place.

Probably, though I wouldn’t want to be known as the Maine store who didn’t know how to spell lobster.

I am all for tradition, but when the tradition is based on a ridiculous mistake it just becomes something to be fixed. I agree…who the hell wants to be known as the Maine store who can’t spell lobster? Good grief.

It’s certainly bringing attention to the place so it’s working as intended.

Maybe MS Smedeberg is onto something. Then again, maybe there’s a problem with one lobe of her brain. I hope she doesn’t have any tattoos.

Hate purposeful misspellings. While she was at it, why didn’t she put Lobester & Carn?
