'megacity' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'husband opening food store in' is the wordplay.
'opening' suggests taking the first letters.
'food store' becomes 'deli' (short for delicatessen).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
The first letter of 'husband' is 'h'.
'h' put within 'deli' is 'DELHI'.
