I still go to Maplins but I think they suffer from indecision and timidity. You don't necessarily think of going to Maplin's for X or Y because you don't know if that's what they deal in. Home automation and the like is probably pointless as most people would research and buy online because of the huge range of stuff. But areas like Raspberry Pi and Arduino they could have gone all out on, as they don't go out of date so quickly and components are generic. Celebrating and riding the wave of maker/hacker culture is something they have ignored and failed on. A place that has locations everywhere? Could have opened up for hacker to collaborate? Had tech bars like Apple? I hope they get rescued somehow.
