shop=super_center would make some sense.

basically, they're an even bigger version of the big box,
with the discount department store on one side and
the supermarket on the other, neither really being
dominant. and usually they have some contract vendors
for additional services near the exists, like banks,
food vendors, opticians, etc.

so you could draw one big outline and then nodes
for the supermarket, the department_store, and
the individual vendors. or you could tag the whole
outline with shop=supercenter and then drop nodes
for the contractors (amenity=fast_food, name=Pizza Hut
and so forth)
