These buildings are often one or two stories that are a transition between the pure discount store and the old full-line department store. The front elevations usually vary with the quality of the store. The higher quality anchor stores have some display areas and fronts while, at the lower quality levels, the entries are relatively plain.
Most anchor stores have some elevators and escalators. Floor coverings are a mixture of carpet and resilient tile, with the better qualities utilizing high-traffic type floor finishes such as terrazzo. Anchor stores generally have combined heating and cooling systems and good store lighting. Allowances are included for suitable office and employee areas and restroom facilities.
