Regarding Althio's comment: This is exactly the sort of confusion caused by using the word "wholesale" in shop=wholesale.
These are not wholesalers. They are retailers who use the word "wholesale" as a marketing tool. (Even if the parent company has wholesale activities, these particular premises sell at retail.) Typically they will, for example, sell detergent in boxes of 5 kg instead of 1 kg. Or a liter of ketchup. Hence the (USA) term "big box". So they are "wholesale-sized" but not wholesale in the sense of their sales mechanism. (The wholesale=* tag is for wholesalers.) I would not change the definition of shop to avoid retail. "shop=wholesale" describes a particular kind of retailer. (We might want to add that last sentence to the wiki.)
