What's the deal?  You guys slipping?

I couldn't figure out why Nandos was bothering me.  Then, aha!  I figures out it needs an apostrophe between the o and the s. 

Nando's Chicken would even be better.  Nandos, sounds like a Spanish last name or dish.

Yup, you're right. Nando's is the correct spelling. WJ2, even though you speak dumbass Foreignish English, your punctuational awareness is excellent.

Its absence might have been intentional if it were to denote more than a singular Nando's.

But wouldn't the apostrophe come after the s in that case?

Seems rather flawed if we're openly mocking them regardless...

An alternate theory I've seen posited is that whoever changed the name was tired and hungover at the time
