I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'local business' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'flogging celery and radishes primarily' is the wordplay.
'flogging' is an anagram indicator.
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'radishes' is 'r'.
'celery'+'and'='celeryand'
'celeryand' anagrammed gives 'drycleane'.
'drycleane'+'r'='DRY-CLEANER'
