SQL Server: How to call a string with apostrophe in name

Question

WHERE Variable = 'Lowe's';

But string is ending at Lowe because it recognizes the 's as end of String.

How to circumvent this?

Although escaping ' with '' works, in case you are running this command from any application you should take a look at databinding and using SqlParameters - spares you a lot of headache, improves performance and security.
