Archer Supply

For years my mother would talk about visiting a store for plants and such called "Archer Supply". I finally asked her where this store was that I had never come across, after much banter and clarifying the location I realized what she really meant to say was "Orchard Supply".
When I corrected her she seemed puzzled and  replied that there was no difference between the two words and that her friends all pronounce it the same way.
