Now I'm more convinceddjewesbury wrote:Primark is not someone's name. The examples I used are. Smith's = the shop of Smith. Roberson's = the shop of Roberson. Used thus since time immemorial, and correctly moreover. Simples.
(And yes. Ryman's. The shop of Ryman.)
EDIT: I had a lovely pot of Earl Grey and a tarte aux framboise in Valerie's today!
But why then do we see Ryman on those shops rather than Ryman's, yet Sainsbury's above all those grocery stores?
