Various stores renovated in a day? (8)
I believe the answer is:
assorted
'various' is the definition.
('assorted' can be a synonym of 'various')
'stores renovated in a day?' is the wordplay.
'renovated' indicates an anagram.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'a day?' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'stores' with letters rearranged gives 'ssorte'.
'ssorte' going into 'ad' is 'ASSORTED'.
(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "like some chocolates" , "Various, diverse" , "Odd-shaped" , "Of different kinds put together, say sweets" , "Divers" .)
