Preferred term

discount stores  

Definition

  • Discount stores, unusually, are defined neither by their size (supercenter, hypermarket) nor by types of goods sold (grocer). Instead, for discount stores to exist, there must be some full-price norm against which to benchmark them. [Source: Encyclopedia of Consumer Culture; Discount Stores]
