Could you include names in the legend?

Just a couple quick grammatical errors: "Bonuses'" refers to possessive plural — it should be "Bonuses". If any possessive article, it should be "Departments' Bonuses." Also, this could go either way, but "Boys Wear" should be "Boys' Wear," and same with Girls(') and Ladies('). You have Men's Basics and Wear with the apostrophe, which should be after the "s". A simple solution to this, seeing how there is no other Boys and Girls, is just to make them "Boys" and "Girls," like "Infants" and "Pets". Just easily fixable things ;)

I like this map a lot, and the skins really help the 2-dimensionality go away. One thing that does irk me: what is inside the pathways between areas? And speaking of the areas, you have most individual places separated from each other, however between "Restaurant" and "Customer Service" they are locked together. I suggest you make them all with some shared walls.

It would make more sense to separate Customer Service and Restaurant? keeping things uniform?

Yes, but I think it would be better to keep them all like C. Service and Restaurant. Right now, while I know they all connect to each other, the separation makes it seem like the paths are the way through.

Interesting point, was thinking though that one color can attack its neighbours and the paths lead the big space.

Still need Department Names any one care to lend a hand in suggesting some?! I'm stumped

Still need Department Names any one care to lend a hand in suggesting some?! I'm stumped, besides naming it something like

Department RED/YELLOW/BLUE

Perhaps I could name it based of an item you would find in that area?

Hardware = Lock
Console Central = for Yellow Area toy/electronics

So far I have:

Brown = ???
D. Blue = ???
Gold = Service and Loyalty
Yellow = Fun and Games
Burgundy = Bare Necessities
Red = Growing Up Fashions
Blue = ???
Purple = Personal Vanity
Pink = Health and Image

Orange —› hmm…
Yellow —› Entertainment
Gray/Blue —› Men's
Beige —› Equipment
Red (which I would make brighter in the key) —› Children & Pets
Pink —› Beauty
Purple —› Workware
Blue —› Houseware
Maroon(-ish…) —› Ladies

Thing's I'd change up:
Image
^ use for name changes — makes the departments more together ^
you'd have to change the skins for such, and make seasonal smaller and footwear larger (the boxes)
oh, and sorry about the infants. I accidentally erased…

still need to fix the grammar problems I posted… ;)

Hmmmm....

Despite your fiddling with the region textures/images, the map still feels kind of flat and dull... I'd like to see the graphics shift up a gear really....

It has come some way, but it still does not scream "I'm a store!"

And is the section honestly called Ladies' Maternity? ... what, opposed to Men's Maternity?

maybe instead of pictures you should have what it would look like if you actually saw it from an arial view, with aisles and all

Getting rid of the white background was a massive step forward.

That would I think be an awesome improvement step taken with the map, but other area's it would just be aisles and bland? Perhaps someone could suggest a compromise?
