OP, I think you should acknowledge that you have unusually severe anxiety about things most of us simply do not worry about. Please, seek help for this, because I have to think your anxieties are preventing you from living well.
As a child and into my teens, I shopped in old and aging department stores. I am sure at least some of them had some asbestos in them. I’ve lived 73 years so far.
Asbestos cannot harm you unless it is disturbed. If the store has not been rehabbed, I think you would be fine. And if it had been rehabbed, regulations govern how asbestos is to be safely handled.
Per tax records the Dillard’s department store was built in 1963 and remodeled in 2010 so I am worried about asbestos contamination.
If it was remodeled, then they would take steps to contain whatever asbestos there was, that is a serious health issue and doing a remodel requires tons of permits and inspections. There are companies that deal only with asbestos containment.
