Every Walmart that I have ever been to (unless I was visiting somewhere when I was young), except for one had either ceiling mounted SpectrAlert classics, or SpectrAlert Advancedās on the ceiling.
Yep. One Walmart in my area, an older Walmart, has SpectrAlert Classics on the ceiling. They replaced wall-mount Wheelock MTs. Thereās a couple of Wheelock MTs still hanging on the wall in a couple of areas. A newer Walmart has Wheelock speaker/strobes. They use those for the PA announcements.
That āoneā Walmart I mentioned had Wheelock ASās mounted on the columns. There are no new Walmarts around me, but it seems like the new ones tend to have voic evac.
Yep, and they use the speaker/strobes for the PA announcements. I think itās cheaper this way. They just have to install speaker/strobes instead of installing speaker/strobes and PA speakers or horn/strobes and PA speakers.
The Walmarts that use the fire alarm speakers for PA speakers donāt have red fire alarm speakers, but fire alarm speakers that resemble normal PA speakers. Only in the restrooms are there red wall-mount fire alarm speakers.
When I was a bit younger, I remember an older Wal-Mart that I have been to that was several hours away from my house (We were doing errands but ended up having to go to an other part of the state) had Wheelock 7002T horn/strobes. I havenāt been back there since so I donāt know if they updated.
K-mart is not defunct. While theyāve closed their stores in some areas, they still have stores in other areas. The Kmart in my area, for instance, is still in business.
