The Banksy Gross Domestic Product shop has been unveiled by the renowned street artist as his latest endeavor that serves a distinct purpose aside from the usual social commentary.
Located in Croydon in England, the shop will offer a range of artistic works that will be available for purchase online with the doors of the store never actually opening for patrons to peruse. The lights inside the shop will remain on 24/7 to allow curious passerby's to take a peek within to see a range of goods that are themed with home decor in mind, but with a distinctly anti-establishment twist.
The Banksy Gross Domestic Product shop is intended to help the artist retain trademark over his name and prevent other companies from usurping his title.
