Georgia and John guessed this (on Facebook):
Three Nines = San Kyuu = Thank You. As John said, an expression of gratitude to the patrons.

Three = san in Japanese and Nine = q. Therefore "san q" which is the Japanese accented "Thank you".
I wonder how many Japanese people actually connect the name of the shop to the English "Thank you" though?
