The Hobby Lobby in Brentwood had their own models, such as the Telemaster, plus a lot of German models and electronics from Graupner. They did a lot of electric sailplane stuff with folding props before we started seeing much of it in Tower catalogs. They sold Ultracote under their own brand name when all I could get elsewhere was Monokote. I heard they were the only importers of Ultracote, but I don't know if that's true. I did start seeing the Ultracote brand in the Tower catalog after Hobby Lobby closed its doors.
The store was mainly a warehouse with a small retail area up front. Some of their models were on the wall or hanging. The Senior (or was it Giant?) Telemaster was truly a giant to me considering the largest models I'd ever seen before that were .40 size planes.
