Does Walmart not count as a supermarket chain then? Because I thought, that was your biggest offline store by a long shot...
No, Walmart is a big box retail store. It started as a discount department store and expanded into grocery. Supermarkets are grocery stores that also sale non-grocery items. Walmart is the US's largest grocer and largest retail chain. The Walmart Supercenters are sometimes referred to as hypermarkets.
Thanks!
