It was one floor only and so a far cry from what it became.... and what it is today. I remember that a good portion of the store had work benches, individual cubes with peg board sides and power strips. The idea was that people would come in, buy kits and/or parts, and work on their projects on site. That did not last long. They added the second floor in the middle to late seventies IIRC - I had moved out to the wilds of Tewksbury by then but still made periodic pilgrimages.
