The Discovery Store
The Discovery Store was a British high-street chain of stores, predominantly selling gadgets, toys and lighting products. The business was formed in Scarbrough, North Yorkshire in 1991, and by the early 2000s had expanded operations across the United Kingdom.[1] In June 2004, The Discovery Store changed its name to Must Have It, and changed its focus from toys to predominantly selling gadgets.[2] Must Have It closed and the business was dormant for several years, before several Discovery stores were opened in the early 2010s, and the business focused on selling product through its thediscoverystore.co.uk. In 2012, the business went into administration, with the company only proceeding forward online until its demise in 2016.[3]
