Shop with decent sales I redeveloped (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delicatessen

'shop' is the definition.
(delicatessen is a kind of shop)

'decent sales i redeveloped' is the wordplay.
'redeveloped' indicates anagramming the letters.
'decent'+'sales'+'i'='decentsalesi'
'decentsalesi' anagrammed gives 'DELICATESSEN'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for delicatessen that I've seen before include "Here one gets exotic foods" , "Unusual foods here" , "Rich food had here, perhaps?" , "Specialised food shop" , "Rare food shop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
