You could solve this by adding operator= or name= to the
amenity=parking. Then, you would just navigate to the parking lot that
is called 'big box store'.
For foot and bicycle navigation, I'd define a POI for the main door
building=entrance. This won't work perfectly when you are navigating to
a store inside a shopping mall or when there are multiple entrances, but
it is good enough.
