Consider the following exemplary company names:
- Texas Coffee Grounders
- Mighty Chicken Wings
- Super Pooper Scoopers
Should one reference the possessive form of any of the above company names, where should the apostrophe be placed?
E.g.
Texas Coffee Grounders's head office is based in Houston.
...or...
Texas Coffee Grounders' head office is based in Houston.
Answer
Grounders' - Because you don't say 'Grounderses' when you read it out aloud. Refer to The Penguin Guide to Punctuation by RL Trask. Chapter on the apostrophe (don't worry it's only a small chapter) http://www.sussex.ac.uk/informatics/punctuation/apostrophe
