علاوة على ما سلف (من راي شخصي قد أصيب فيه أو أخطئ)، أجد أن كلمة "متجر" كلمة عربية جميلة جدا ولكننا لسوء الحظ أصبحنا نستخدم كلمات مستوردة مثل: "مول" "ستور" وحتى ايضا "شوب" ولو تعود مستخدموا اللغة العربية على الكلمات العربية الأصيلة لما استهجنوها.

Dear Assem, what is the difference? I don't see it. We all agree that the term سلسلة متاجر is widespread and used by all even if it does not fit the meaning. Now the asker will have to make his choice between a widespread term and the proposed equivalent

Let me use analogy to explain a point: in my translation of Olympus digital photography manual, I came across: image, picture, photo, and "a" shot. I twisted Arabic to invent new words, to find at the end that they wanted them be translated all asصورة

there is " multi-branch stores " AND there is " chain stores " there must be a difference, dont you agree?

من وجهة نظري لا أجد في "سلسلة مطاعم..الخ" ترجمة صحيحة فهي لو نظرنا إليها جديا لا تحمل أي معنى... ولغتنا العربية أغنى من أن نستعير ترجمات حرفية من الانجليزية. أرى أن المصطلح العامي قريب للمعنى وهو: متجر متعدد الفروع الخ. ما رأيكم؟

The McDonald's chain continued to grow... وترجمتها سلسلة مطاعم مكدونالدز وبالتالي هذا يخالف رأيك

It is highly recommended to approach the "disagree" feature cautiously. Thanks

Dear peers, there is a difference between chain store (the question) and chain of stores. "chain store" is a multi-branch store owned by one firm. However "chain of stores" is a series of stores that are not necessarily owned by the same firm.

Chain stores (also called retail chains) are a range of retail outlets which share a brand and central management, usually with standardized business methods and practices. They are a type of business chain. Such stores may be branches owned by one company or franchises owned by local individuals or firms and operated under contract with the parent corporation. Features common to all chains are centralized marketing and purchasing, which often result in economies of scale, meaning lower costs and presumably higher profits.

فروع متعددة لمتجر .....

Explanation:
أعتقد أن (سلسلة محلات ) هي كلمة عامة يمكن أن تطلق على محلات تجارية في نفس المكان وبأسماء مختلفة
ولا تدل على إنها فروع لاسم متجر واحد في أماكن مختلفة

لذلك أقترح

فروع متعددة لمتجر .....
