This shop may be considered a hypermarket of economic class
This is how I wоuld convey the meaning.
NOTES:
1)"эконом" is not a nominative but a short form for "экономный"
2)the russian marketing people very seldom know what they are speaking about and even more seldom other russian people may understand them - so do not take all this stuff too serious :)))
