I want to know what this expression means to an English speaker and if it is grammatically acceptable. We wish to use it as a slogan for a footwear company and would appreciate some opinions on whether this would be 1. correct and 2. with a relevant meaning for the public. Thanks!

"To go" is regularly used in connection with food you can take away with you from the place it's cooked. However, since we rarely stay in one place to experience joy, I can't see the point in suggesting that you can take joy with you.

A walk-up cupcake kiosk where you buy a cupcake and then you go about on your way might be "Joy to go" but it doesn't work for me for a footwear company.

"Joy to go" would be a great slogan for a laxative, or maybe even adult diapers.
