emporiums
Big retail establishments
Emporiums is the plural of emporium, a large retail store offering a wide variety of goods.
The word sounds old-fashioned and slightly grand, evoking department stores of an earlier era: the great emporiums of the nineteenth century.
Today it often carries ironic or nostalgic overtones, or appears in business names aiming for vintage charm.
