No apostrophe needed.

But when some apples belong to Tesco's, are they Tesco's's apples?

# Right and wrong
Q. Who owns the apples? A. Tesco.

Therefore, stricly speaking they are Tesco's apples rather than say Marks and Spencer's apples. Tesco can not be pluralised as it is not an artical, but Tesco can own acticals so 's is correct.

Should you need to talk about the make up of the Tesco business, such as more than one Tesco store, the 's is dropped - eg. 3 Tesco stores, 8 Tesco wearhouses, the Tesco delivery van.

However, if you were to write or talk about all the apples Tesco own, then the 's is droped as then you would be talk about the stock of apples held by Tesco hence they then form part of the make up of the Tesco business and 's would be incorrect.

# I saw one of these in the Tesco in north harbour
And took a picture on my phone. One of the staff saw me do it, looked puzzled, and a few days later the sign was changed.

It appears there are people from that there Portsmouth frequenting this board.
How dare they! I am also somewhat surprised they can read, however, that takes nothing away from this haven of pleasentness being ruined. You'll be telling me next you come from PAULSGROVE.
