Questions about stores' names
Could I ask two questions?
Why do stores' or restaurants' names often end in " 's "?
Is the " 's " a possessive word?
And I heard people say stores' or restaurants' names are sometimes shortened into a word ending with " 's ".
Does that mean this kind of rule can be applied to all stores and restaurants?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Mister Micawber.
