'a sort of shop' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'near the end of the road' is the wordplay.
'near' becomes 'close' (similar in meaning).
'the end of the' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'road' is 'd'.
'close'+'d'='CLOSED'

'there's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
