The fashion, furnishing and furniture shop opened in February this year and marked the occasion by taking down the original BHS logo that jutted out into the street.
Previously to that the outlet was used as 'Europe's Largest £1 Christmas Shop' up until Christmas Eve 2018.
Developers Oxford London Estates Group bought the department store outlet in August 2018 for an undisclosed fee.

Mr Chotoveli also outlined hopes to fill the store with a hybrid of flats, shops and leisure, but future plans have not yet been revealed.
BHS closed in 2016 after the national chain collapsed.
