Some sales to resume in shops (6)
I believe the answer is:
stores
'shops' is the definition.
('store' can be a synonym of 'shop')
'some sales to resume' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'STORES' is hidden in the letters of 'sales to resume'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for stores that I've seen before include "Accumulates, saves up" , "Puts aside for future use" , "Keeps" , "Lays away for future use" , "Puts away for a tosser" .)
