So what kinds of fans have you seen in your local wholesale clubs and retailers like Wal Mart and K-Mart?
Here's what I've seen:
-A K-Mart not too, too far from me had tons on 42" white Originals from the early 1990s on 48" down rods in the Little Ceaser's Pizza going up into a red cross-tiled ceiling like many Little Ceaser's in K-Mart's had. They were almost always on. Unfortunately, when the place became an independant store, the Little Ceaser's was walled in and the fans remained for awhile, then got removed.
Another independant store moved in and they removed the cool red cross-tiled ceiling and put in a drop-tile ceiling, no fans
-My local Wal-Mart was built in 2011, and is a Supercenter. It has two of the new Dayton (non-marley) 56" industrials on 12" down rods with curved blades over the produce section that are always on. Recently, they added an older Dayton/Marley 56" industrial on a 12" down rod in the produce section with straight blades. It is also always on. The Subway/Auntie Anne's Pretzels has three pewter-colored Regency Professional Series builder fans that are always on.
-Another Wal-Mart near me has a single 60" white HB Industrial on a 36" or so down rod over the photo counter that is never on. They also have a bunch of pewter-colored Regency MX Excel fans in the Subway that are sometimes on and sometimes off.
-A Costco has a single 52" GEV white HB Landmark from the late 1990s and a single 52" non-GEV white HB Landmark from the late 1990s, early 2000s in the cafe area. The non-GEV one shakes really badly. There are a bunch of either 4B or 5B (I think 5B?) white Fasco GEV builders on long down rods over the checkouts that are always on.
-A Sam's Club had a few industrials (not sure what type) over the photo counter that were always on.
-Another Wal-Mart used to have some kind of white fans in the cafe, but when it was converted to a Subway, the fans were replaced by pewter-colored Regency MX Excel fans. They are always on.
-Another Wal-Mart had about ten or so white/PB Wal-Mart builders 52" 5B with lattice vents over the checkouts. It was an old-school Wal-Mart and one of the fans had a blade or two broken off of it. They were on 3" down rods. All fans except for the one with the broken blades/blades were on.
-Another Wal-Mart had 2 42" white generic huggers (probably what they sold at the time they installed them) over the entrance (another old-school Wal-Mart). One fan was missing a blade or two, and they both weren't on.
That's all I can think of for now.
