Large Retail Outlets/Facilities


Explanation:
I think this covers more bases than malls and shopping centres, as often, at least in EU Portuguese this term also refers to "hypermarkets" and the like.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Through our experience working with large retail outlets and CE manufacturers, we found that there was a need for high quality, independently produced training material in the market.
  • Many people are not aware that large retail outlets and shopping malls owe a legal duty to their guests to maintain a reasonably safe shopping environment.
