English term or phrase: squat store
They do tend to be in neighborhoods that are viewed as trendy," said one neighborhood planner. One sign: Real estate listings often tout proximity to a Starbucks. Then there's CVS, which builds squat stores with parking in front. ...

Romanian translation:magazin mic, cu un singur nivel
Explanation:
doar o parere... nu cred ca o retea dezvoltata de farmacii precum CVS, prezenta in vreo 35 de state americane daca nu ma-nsel, isi permite sa deschida noi farmacii pe terenuri ocupate ilegal.
sa nu uitam ca squat mai are un sens:
1. squat - short and thick; as e.g. having short legs and heavy musculature; "a dumpy little dumpling of a woman"; "a little church with a squat tower"; "a squatty red smokestack" etc.; (vezi www.thefreedictionary.com/squat)
as zice ca se autorul face o metafora, referindu-se de fapt la magazine de dimensiuni reduse, cu un singur nivel (vezi www.comfortrol.com/images/cvs-pharmacy.jpg)
imi permit sa fac o remarca offtopic: e clar ca articolul se vrea o antiteza intre Starbucks si CVS, ce as vrea sa subliniez este ca si cafenelele din reteaua Starbucks sunt la fel de mici:)

magazin neautorizat, provizoriu, migrant


Explanation:
To squat, zice Webster, are sensul american de a ocupa un loc pe domeniul public fara autorizatie, sau cu un fel de permisiune, in cadrul unor anumite reglementari, dar in vederea obtinerii abia mai tarziu a autorizatiei legale propriu-zise (de ex., asa cum s-au ocupat candva terenuri agricole in Oklahoma). Sensul general este de a ocupa o cladire in mod ilegal (squatters, se vorbeste din cand in cand despre ei la stirile din destul de multe tari). Nu-mi vine o great idea cum s-ar putea spune in romana.
