Most people use the term 'department store' and by major I mean the major chains of department stores

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks kate and everyone else - I finally went with suggesting this answer as being the most likely - major department stores are indeed the big chain department stores - not the local one-offs "

(major) supermarkets

Another possibility:
"Grootwarenhuizen" here in Belgium are just the major supermarkets such as Delhaize, Carrefour, Colruyt, etc.
Peer comment(s):

agree writeaway : major supermarket and hypermarket chains.you're right-compared to other countries, there's not really a big department store presence here (name one besides Inno). of course who knows what the context was referring to-just Belgium or what? tant pis.
