megastore
Giant shopping destination
A megastore is a very large retail store, typically part of a chain, offering an extensive selection within a category: a book megastore, an electronics megastore.
The term emphasizes scale—these stores dwarf ordinary shops and often anchor shopping centers.
The old downtown bookshop couldn't compete with the megastore.
