department store

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

'large shop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leave fellows having time with stock' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'leave' could be 'depart' (departing is a kind of leaving) and 'depart' is located in the answer.
'fellows' could be 'men' (fellow can mean a man) and 'men' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
'stock' could be 'store' (synonyms) and 'store' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.
