Narrative:
After landing runway 9L at pbi we turned off the runway and contacted ground. We asked to be cleared to taxi to 'X' FBO. There are 2 FBO's both owned by 'X,' one is named 'X' which is on the southwest side and 'Y' which is on the southeast side. 'X' bought all 'Y' FBO's and are renaming all of them to 'X.' the 'Y' FBO at pbi has not changed the name yet which I thought they did. So we taxied to the southeast, the tower thought we went southwest. In doing so, we crossed the end of runway 13 going to the southeast side of the airport. This is not the first time this happened at pbi per tower operator.
