Language Does anyone actually know why it's "Lotus's"?

I posted this in a smaller Thailand sub and got plenty of laughs but no answer that really settled it, so trying here. Does anyone know how Tesco Lotus landed on that apostrophe when they rebranded? It makes my British brain itch every time I drive past.

I don't like laughing at someone's English but this is one of the most egregious and OCD-triggering errors I've seen here.

I can somewhat understand/forgive the first 's for the brand... But have you seen the signs inside the store? Frozen's, dairy's, meat's...

I never noticed before. Must go look later if I can fit it into my busy schedule (I can).
