Hi, give this a try:

Code:
awk '
  {
    while((p || B[2]<$2 || B[3]>10) && (getline n<f)>0) {
      split(n,B)
      p=0
    }
    t=q="null"
    if(B[2]==$2 && B[3]<10) {
      t=B[1]
      q=(10-B[3]<$3 ? 10-B[3] : $3)
      p=1
    } 
    print $0, t, q
  }
' OFS='\t' f=<(sort -k2,2n -k3n  Small-stores.txt) <(sort -k2,2 -k3rn Large-stores.txt)

---
This is using process substitution in bash/ksh93/zsh. If the files are already in the proper sorted order, you can just use:
Code:
' OFS='\t' f=Small-stores.txt Large-stores.txt
