The "chemists" (drug stores) in the US sell pantry essentials. I can't imagine buying a TV while waiting for your prescription!

Boots also used to sell home computers and games on cassette. Around 1983 it was an actual place to hang out to see the latest developments in home computing, and buy some toothpaste.

There's a small section of electronics. I'd expect them to have sold smaller, portable tvs from time to time.
