Yes, there were Allied (Knight Kit, etc.) stores back
in the early 70's.
(HQ in Chicago). I remember one in Atlanta near Ga Tech. The current
industrial distributor is what it bacame. I think there was a Lafayette too
there someplace too.
(I only remember one in Richmond, VA, the HQ was on Long Island) Another
chain was Olson.
Radio Shack was once a small number of stores at/near Boston, but I never
got to visit it then. One can find their ads in QST's, though.

There was
another one I haven't seen in a couple of decades, called Allied.
I once worked for a subsidiary of another Allied Electronics, so they must
have been gone by then.
