ne se présente plus

English translation: XXX ('s) needs no introduction

French to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations
French term or phrase: ne se présente plus
Sentence is:
A quelques pas des Champs-Élysées, et du non moins célèbre Triangle d’or, la boutique XXX ne se présente plus.
Reconnue sur la place internationale, elle est souvent considérée comme « le joaillier du stylo ».

Can I just check if any one else interprets this as "no longer advertises"?? Although this is a press release so it's not quite true! Could it mean it's hard to find?? Any help would be appreciated!
