I've been on the Internet, and I know fakes -- and this is fake. Please do not rely on this, as Gizmodo is very famous for falling prey to hoaxes. Over 50,000 men on Digg, Reddit, and Facebook have been vigourously investigating this fake picture, and they have deemed it fake.

As Alvinc5 mentioned the shop does actually exist in Marmaris, in the large covered market near the harbour-side. Like a lot of other shops in the area they use popular brand names to entice gullible tourists into their shops in the hope of selling more fake t-shirts/watches/trainers..

If only I was that good at PS! ;-)

Not truly a store opened by Google? True. A total photoshop job and/or setup just for pics? No reason to believe that's the case. We've seen this happen 1,000 times anyway.

On top of and to the right of all of the racks are "sponsored fashions". You can browse all you want, but the guy makes his money when you try on the "sponsored fashions".

It is probably a fake though.

And that's just one of a multitude of American TV shows they copied.

No doubt that it has no affiliation with Google Inc. whatsoever.

There are actually a number of imitation stores which I spotted in Marmaris, including a 'New Look' store selling clothing, and an 'ASDA' clothing store even bearing the 'ASDA Price' logo (both stores located on the busy road 'Kemal Seyfettin Elgin Boulveard' that runs through Marmaris).
