A large store (superstore) run by a major corporation.
No one knows where the term came from (Because the store's goods are shipped in big boxes? Because the store looks like a big box?) As a result, anyone using the term should be slapped with a large trout for using a phrase which they themselves don't really understand.

In today's financial news, big box store Target is increasing its competition against big box store WalMart. Ow, that trout hurt!

Not to be confused wif da economy/bulk price dat you gain from purchasing super-sized-containers of groceries and household products at places like Sam's Club or Costco, this snortingly-sarcastic term refers to where a company packages their products in a much-larger cardboard package than said items actually take up, giving THEM the "discount", since they charge about as much for said parcel of goods as that seemingly- larger amount should logically cost.
To save space in my cupboard, I was able to fit almost two times the number of granola bars in a box as were in there originally --- talk about a big-box "discount"!
