                 The history of Fred

What is the exact story behind A fish named Fred? In 2011, Rob Schalker (CEO of A fish named Fred) had a new concept in his head. The floors had already been chosen, the smell in the store too, and even the music that would have to sound on the floor was already
clear. Only the concept had no name.
After endless conversations with all kinds of people who mainly came up with names that were not original. His daughter came with the name “Freddy fish”. Freddy Fish, Freddy Fish… What am I supposed to do with that, thought Rob Later he decided to search the internet. Freddy Fish turned out to be a character in a video game. That can not be, A Fish Called Fred would have problems with Warner Brothers. 'But that name
sounds really good', so Rob decided to register the domain name afishcalledfred.com and the trade name A fish named Fred.
