Design and features[]
The Bikini Bottom Central Department Store is a somewhat high, wide building built in the New Objectivity architectural style. The building's exterior is colored in red. It has ten floor and ten wings; the wings are connected by a narrow central corridor spanning the entire length of the building. The entrance into the building is located at the center front, directly facing the large parking lot. A hypostyle hall leads to a large, carved cedar door providing entrance into the store.
Trivia[]
- The department store's building is modeled after the IG Farben Building in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
