Ute Zimmerman, owner of the Gowanus Souvenir Shop, says the aim of the store was to bring together items from local artists that played on the area's history.
“We started it basically as a bit of a spoof because the area had become so popular, but it is still a toxic waste site. And so, we thought it would be fun to make a souvenir shop for a toxic waste site,” says Zimmerman.
Zimmerman says she never imagined how successful the store would become. She says it was meant to be a four-month project, but its popularity let the store go on for four years.

Launch of Amazon's Hebrew storefront offers American expats a taste of home | The Times of Israel
According to Nir Ben Yona Sein, an Israeli consultant who runs several online tech sites, including one that aggregates Amazon deals, the retailer was exploring the Israeli market last year. Now, it's trying to promote itself locally.
"It has only one purpose in my opinion," Sein told JTA. "What they wanted to do is get the Israeli audience to know the platform well and buy more so they wanted to educate them to buy on the platform."
Israel does not currently host one of the gigantic warehouses Amazon uses to facilitate cheap and fast delivery to customers in the United States and other countries, and many e-commerce experts cited in the Israeli press have dismissed rumors that the company is planning to build one.
