neutral  Floriana Leary: They don't have to be chains, they can be 'loja do Chinês', or 'Loja dos 300', or 'The Dollar Store' or 'Salvation Army Store'...

grandes armazéns


Explanation:
A definição de box stores não tem, neste caso, nada a ver com o Ikea ou a Home Depôt, que são grandes lojas, mas com tudo arranjadinho.

A definição que possui de box stores tem a ver com supermercados de tipo Lidl

neutral  Floriana Leary: megastores are like Super Wallmart, Hipermecado Continent etc., these aren't stores that have their products in boxes.

  -> Actually, the link above says that megastores, chain stores and box stores are the same. Thanks anyway.

depósito/construção no estilo de depósito


Explanation:
Ikea and Home Depot are huge stores! they are very organized and ikea is even clean... however, they lack any walls or partitions, there are shelves but no walls. they are warehouse type stores and I think the description here alludes to the fact that they are huge box structures, there are no stories, stairs, walls, elevators, etc. just the four walls and lots of merchandise.
