Chat with airline about several places to shop (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retail chain

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

'several places to shop' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'chat with airline about' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chat'+'airline'='chatairline'
'chatairline' with letters rearranged gives 'RETAIL CHAIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for retail chain that I've seen is " Group of shops".)
