Maplins or Tandys (UK version of Radio Shack) perhaps?

As mentioned above sounds like Maplins. Tandy was a bit more specialised and sold loads of electrical components and electronic project kits etc. Closed all the stores must be around 25 years ago. Maplins sold allsorts, in the later years they specialised in cheap and nasty drones. Used to go there a lot but their customer service was diabolical especially when daring to try to return a faulty item so eventually gave up on them well before they folded.
