souvenir shop

Memento retail outlet

A souvenir shop is a store selling items meant to commemorate a place or experience—typically found in tourist areas, airports, and attractions.

The merchandise runs from postcards and keychains to local crafts and branded clothing: We stopped at a souvenir shop near the Eiffel Tower.

The goods range from tasteful to tacky.
