The Store next Door is the storefront next to Bob's Burgers on the opposing side from Mort's It's Your Funeral Home & Crematorium. Similar to "It's Your Funeral," this storefront also features clever word play, but unlike the Belchers' long-time steady neighbor Mort, it is a revolving door of businesses, often so temporary the sign is crudely painted on a cloth banner. A different business is shown to occupy this storefront in every episode, and thus it is one of the running gags in the show. The following is a list of these doomed ventures:

Trivia
- A vacant, stylized version of this storefront is featured in the Archer season 4 premiere, "Fugue and Riffs."
- Usually after the opening credits, the store, if seen, would be vacant in the episode. However, in "Uncle Teddy" Bob mentions the store, then called "CARL'S PRE-OWNED INDOOR OUTHOUSES". And in "Nightmare on Ocean Avenue Street" the store, then called THOSE WHO CAN, DLE CANDLES", was featured throughout the episode.
