Lied about store (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deli

'store' is the definition.
(I know that deli is a type of store)

'lied about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'lied' with letters rearranged gives 'DELI'.

(Other definitions for deli that I've seen before include "Fine food shop" , "food outlet" , "Unusual food shop" , "Shop selling processed food products" , "Food store" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
