Note that many BrE speakers at least wouldn't use the "who is" there.

Is [name of shop] owned by the same James that owns the James Supermarket?

I wonder which of the above sentence is grammatically correct, if both ABC shop and James supermarket are owned by the same James.

Tedmc already answered that question in post #2.

Shouldn't there be an apostrophe after "James" (the second one)?

It depends. If the shop is just called "James" then no apostrophe is necessary. If they're trying to say "the supermarket that belongs to James" then yes, there should be an apostrophe.
