City store called Habitat (9)

I believe the answer is:

stockholm

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

'city' is the definition.
(Stockholm is an example)

'store called habitat' is the wordplay.
'store' becomes 'stock' (synonyms).
'called habitat' becomes 'holm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'stock'+'holm'='STOCKHOLM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stockholm that I've seen before include "Swedish city" , "Sweden's capital city" , "Capital of Sweden" , "Scandinavian capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
