Actually some of the original bigbox stores were in major metropolitans, Woolworth being one, Alexander's and Gimbles another. Macy's takes up a huge space in Herald Square, Sacks Fifth Ave, Lord & Taylor, Bergdorff Goodman, Bloomingdale's all are very humungous stores. These are all old school department stores.
We have 2 Home Depots here in Manhattan, one on 23rd Street.
Most urban sprawl didn't happen until the 50's post war generation, so the original downtowns of most cities would be similar with the departments stores and small mom and pops intermixed.
