Mope around -- then breeze back from shops (7)
I believe the answer is:
emporia
'shops' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mope around then breeze back' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'then' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'breeze' becomes 'air' ('air' can be a synonym of 'breeze').
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'air' in reverse letter order is 'ria'.
'mope' is an anagram of 'empo'.
'empo'+'ria'='EMPORIA'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emporia that I've seen before include "I'm a rope (anag)" , "Large retail shops" , "sales outlets" , "Large retail outlets" , "Large stores" .)
