We'd have shop=trade_supply + trade=electrical for the wholesale outlet, with trade=electrician on the factory unit / shed / yard / house that they work from. Do they even have to be different words? Could both places be the same eg trade=electrical for the actual tradie or trade=electrician for the wholesaler?
