A big box store is any large retail store with extensive floor space that enables it to sell a larger amount of merchandise than average retailers in their category. They are often part of a chain and can also be known as "superstores," "supercenters," or "megastores."

Many big box stores (like Target and Walmart) sell a wide variety of merchandise, from groceries to tools to clothing. Others, such as Best Buy (electronics) and Home Depot (home improvement), specialize in one particular retail category.

Big box stores may be large, free-standing buildings surrounded by large parking lots or may be part of a "strip mall" or shopping plaza where several stores are located in a row and share a common large parking lot.
