This study explored the overall operation performance of the domestic large stores, and analyzed it from the perspectives of the experts/scholars, the large stores and consumers. The research results showed that the experts/scholars and the large stores had the same opinion that the competition of the large stores is very radical, and the main competition is from the same industry. The consumers were dissatisfied with the overall operation performance of three types of the large stores--the chain stores of supermarkets, 3C superstores and the chain stores of drug and cosmetics, and satisfied with the overall operation performance of the other six types of the large stores--shopping malls, warehouse stores, department stores, the living superstores, convenience chain stores and fast food chain stores. In addition, this study proposed the concrete suggestions to the government and the large stores to improve the overall operation performance of the large stores.
