[11] In 2017 the building was bought by Danish billionaire fashion retailer and landowner in Scotland Anders Holch Povlsen, reportedly for £53 million.

[15] Edinburgh City Council issued a Listed Building enforcement notice on 21 April 2021 to Sports Direct Retail, the Mike Ashley company that owns the Frasers Group, to reinstate the Jenners letters on the eastern and southern sides of the department store, as these had been removed without listed building consent.

[18] In June 2022, AAA United, the company owned by Anders Holch Povlsen, was granted planning permission to convert the building to a 96-room hotel.

[20][21][22] The present Jenners building in Edinburgh was designed in 1893 by William Hamilton Beattie in an ornate, early Renaissance Revival style, embellished with a variety of columns, ornamental cornices and decorative balustrading.

At Charles Jenner's insistence the building's facade was decorated with rows of female caryatids "to show symbolically that women are the support of the house".

[3] In 1970s, the Jenners store was designated a category A listed building by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland.

Jenners said that security measures introduced in UK airports following the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot had led to a significant downturn in trade at the shops.
