Shop available to rent (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outlet

'shop' is the definition.
(outlet can mean a shop or market)

'available to rent' is the wordplay.
'available' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to rent' becomes 'let' ('let' can be a synonym of 'rent').
'out'+'let'='OUTLET'

(Other definitions for outlet that I've seen before include "Place of business for retailing goods" , "River mouth; shop" , "Discharge pipe" , "Store" , "Opening, vent." .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
