Example for US:

"Fred Meyer, Inc. is a chain of hypermarkets founded in 1922 in Portland, Oregon by Fred G. Meyer. The company was one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping, eventually combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing store, shoe store, fine jewelers, home decor store, home improvement center, garden center, electronics store, toy store, sporting goods store and more under one roof."

Another possibility for US,which I have never herd of, appears to be "big-box store":

"A big-box store (also supercenter, superstore, or megastore) is a physically large retail establishment, usually part of a chain. The term sometimes also refers, by extension, to the company that operates the store. Examples include large department stores such as Wal-Mart and Target."

Sorry for the typo: should of course say "never heard of", and not "herd"!!

neutral Tomasz Poplawski : Well, expect I don't think I have ever seen - even once - anything called "hypermarket" here in the US. So depending on the target audience, I might suggest some caution here// certainly - but the asker is from the US hence my remark

Instantly understood in UK // Thanks for the input. I have now provided some US alternatives.
neutral Karolina Cichocka : I've never seen it used in the UK either, it's definitely not a common term

neutral Beata Claridge : Nor in NZ - maybe we just haven't got any... Howerver, we do have megastores

superstore/megastore

Tak przynajmniej nazywamy je w NZ, wedlug Wiki w US podobnie

"Usually associated with large chains such as Target and Wal-Mart, a superstore sells a wide range of products, from toys and electronics to clothing and groceries and even furniture, sporting goods and automotive supplies. These types of stores advertise "one stop shopping", where customers can stop just once at their store and buy everything they need or want. Most superstores are located on a single level, as opposed to many department stores which are often multi-leveled"
