I can confirm that there is still carpet in some areas of JCP. Oddly enough, the tile floor that covers the walkway cuts off, and there is glossed concrete going the rest of the walkway. It is done in a very ugly fashion, and there is still spray paint on the concrete from when the area was being constructed. Also, it looks like a fire alarm system has been installed there. The NA’s are white ceiling mount SpectrAlert Advanced’s mounted above the walkway that goes around the store. The pull stations are BG-12’s (I didn’t see the brand name quick enough) next to the exits, covered by Stopper stations.
This thread is a little old, but I felt like the information was important, and it is less than a month old.
