English term or phrase: high-street stores

Hola
¿alguna idea cómo puedo traducir "high-street stores" en este contexto?

Just think of the unlikely things that have become so commonplace today, we barely give them a thought: poster-sized 3-D TVs in high-street stores.

mi intento: piensa en todas esas cosas que un día parecían increíbles y que se han vuelto tan comunes que hoy apenas te fijas en ellas: televisores 3D de tamaño póster en tiendas principales

tiendas de la Gran Vía

Explanation:
Es una opción a raíz de la explicación que nos da Lorena:
'metonym for the generic name...of the primary business street of towns or cities", usado en UK, variante 'Main Street' en Norteamérica. Y **Gran Vía** en España, se me ocurre.
Suerte.
