Thought this was a funny sign and possibly a unique store, so I stopped and took a few shots from both sides and the front while on my way to somewhere else.
I liked both signs, so I decided to see if I could set two shots opposite each other in a mirror-image placement. The position of the sandwich sign and the far sidewalk worked out to make the area resemble a small plaza.
Cut away some areas, and duplicated and skewed part of the sign to put on the other side, which was black; some minor cloning on the sidewalk above the sign. Slight disrtion of final composite to try and straighten up verticals a bit.
Also used various RGB and Blue Curves, some through masks.
