No, James is right. This is the infamous grocers' apostrophe; Fowler's says:
"From the 17c. onwards an apostrophe was often used in the plural number when
the noun ended in a vowel e.g. grotto's, opera's, toga's. Since the mid-19c.,
grammarians have condemned this use, but it continues to appear, to the
amusement of educated people, in signs and notices, especially in shop windows."
