The store in Blackpool sounds similar. The 'component bar' is a large oval counter in the centre of the (massive) shop floor, probably around 20ft by 4ft on the inside as I recall. Outwardly it is a smart oval counter, on the inside it is loaded with drawers.
I found this while searching Maplin stuff:

I see their idea of 'UK' was predominantly east coast based.
