Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, even if the spangram isn't a word we use in the UK (we'd call them superstores or mega stores).
Sadly, I wasn't firing on all cylinders from the get-go and needed a clue to get going. It revealed BATH which made me realize that today's puzzle was about departments in stores.
I quickly got HOME spelt backwards from the middle of the grid to the left, followed by KITCHEN in the bottom-right corner. The former curved neatly around the start of the spangram and allowed me to get BIGBOX, despite not being familiar with the word.
I then found TOYS below it, which created enough space to get ELECTRONICS spelt backwards from right to left. That left just two answers at the top of the board, and it was easy enough to separate them into BEAUTY and GARDEN.
