big box retail Explanation: This is a commonly used term for what in Sweden is referred to as "skrymmande handel", literally retail of large and bulky items, e.g. furniture, whitegoods, building material etc. It is also the term given in the asker's explanation... Example sentence(s):

high volume retail Explanation: I'd say your term is a synonym to the answer in http://www.proz.com/kudoz/swedish_to_english/business_commer... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day14 hrs (2015-02-28 09:30:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'll revisit this, mostly based on Anna's reference. But we have four suggestions referring to shops (size), but the Swe term likely, as Anna points out, refers to the type of goods being sold. (Here is a pretty clear definition, see http://www.strangnas.se/Upload/Näringsliv och arbete/Informa... These are generally referred to as durables, durable goods, and factory hard goods (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/durable-goods-orders.asp... But, the context sentence specifically describes the shop/store. This leads me to think the writer misused the Swe term to mean something quite similar. |
