superstore
Massive shopping destination
A superstore is a very large retail store, typically offering a wide range of merchandise or deep selection in a particular category.
The term emerged as retailers built ever-larger buildings: a home improvement superstore, an electronics superstore.
Superstores often anchor shopping centers and draw customers from a wide area.
