We had a Byte Shop here in backwater Vancouver fairly early, as I recall. I think my dad's friend with an IMSAI was getting S100 stuff from them, which would have been 1976 or 77. A "Computer World" and "computer land" showed up within a few years at latest - I have receipts for Apple II stuff from all three dated 1981.
