According to British Airways, the shop "won't let you down when looking for the perfect souvenir."[1] However Fodor's says "Ok, so it may not, in fact, be the world's largest, but it's the city's largest—and for that matter, the city's best—souvenir store."[2]

In 2016, the property was sold for $50 million to Haim Gabay, who had been operating the store as a tenant for a year.[5]
