Thank you so much. I have seen somewhere October alone on the top of the shop. Is it wrong?
I have seen John's for example as a name on the top of the shops too, when do we use 's for the names of the shops? (not generally)

How could it be wrong? It is just a single word in limbo...and it's spelt right.

Thank you so much. I think you did not get my exact question due to cultural differences, or any other reasons. I know possessive. My question was something else. Anyway thank you.
