>>> Toys-R-Us at one stage was mapped with the relevant Unicode character for a backwards "R", so slavish copying of the trade dress (i.e., best-one, in this case) is not likely to be a good idea. Similarly former (and IIRC still about) trade dress for various Co-op brands was "the Co-operative Xxxx". I think agreeing a convention for names which are capitalised unconventionally would help in these cases.

>>> It is clear that Best-one use a hyphen so the most popular option is the least correct. Although I've used "Best-One" in the past it looks rather clunky, and is an odd form of capitalisation. "best-one" fits the trade dress, but this will likely change as they do, so a more conventionally capitalised "Best-one". I note The Grocer, a trade magazine, which must wrestle with this sort of style problem all the time, uses "Best-one": >>> https://www.thegrocergoldawards.co.uk/grocer-gold-finalists/ <https://www.thegrocergoldawards.co.uk/grocer-gold-finalists/>>>> .
