Marketing - Retail
English term or phrase: Department Store
it is a heading in a table of items.

It is a known phenomena in Australia. Here are department stores such as: David Jones and Grace Bros. now know as Myer stores; there are also K-mart and Target.

Anyone knows how to translate this term?
I suggest:

محلات تجارية متعددة الأقسام

ِAny other/ better ideas?

Thank you
