Army leaders ripped apart retail outlet (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
general store
'retail outlet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'army leaders ripped apart' is the wordplay.
'army leaders' becomes 'generals' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ripped apart' becomes 'tore' (I've seen this in another clue).
'generals'+'tore'='GENERAL STORE'
(Other definitions for general store that I've seen before include "Retail outlet" , "Shop selling miscellaneous range of goods" , "Shop carrying a broad range of goods" , "village shop" , "trading post" .)
