supercenter

Massive discount store

A supercenter is a very large retail store combining a full grocery supermarket with a general merchandise discount store under one roof.

The format, pioneered by chains like Walmart and Target, offers one-stop shopping for food, clothing, electronics, and household goods: We picked up groceries and a new TV at the supercenter.
