I believe the answer is:

aldi

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

'shop' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'lifting a feature of rabid lawlessness' is the wordplay.
'lifting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'a feature of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'idla' is hidden in the letters of 'rabid lawlessness'.
'idla' in reverse letter order is 'ALDI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for aldi that I've seen is " German-based supermarket chain".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
