[Recorded 9-4-21] This is a rather interesting store. The third floor was shut off to the public and turned into storage. This store had a massive renovation a couple of years ago, and I wonder if that's when they decided to downsize to only the first and second floors. It's also possible that during that same renovation, the right elevator was removed. Another possibility could be that the other elevator was just never installed. If you stay until the end of the video, you can see that it's nothing but a closet, so the entire shaft had to have been filled in. As for the elevator that does exist, it's rather outdated but gets the job done. Older department stores, like this one for example, usually have traction elevators which are always nice to come across. Interesting place.
