Nail on the head.
Not enough of any one thing to attract people to it.
If you want components you will go somewhere (probably on-line these days) that has a meaningful range and stock.
If you want home entertainment, you will go somewhere that has a meaningful range and stock.
Of you want drones / automation (etc etc) ............. ditto
The only time I set foot in the tiny Newbury store was to get some memory for a NUC I had bought after I cocked up ordering it on line (wrong type).
What I got there was over priced and too small, but dug me out of a temporary hole as I needed to get on with the project over the weekend. Such occasional "distressed" purchases won't keep then afloat and as they only had 1 memory stick in stock of that type I consider it a lucky break they could help at all !
