How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The hand-painted nature of Smoking Money Antiques shop sign was refreshing to see. It could be bespoke to the store, which reflects the thriving independent shop culture that is evident when walking around the town. The elongated K’s add character and further adds to the humour of the name. Interestingly, the shop opposite is also handpainted, could it be inspired? or even competition?
