Crossword Genius

Shop I ran turned around (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deli

'shop' is the definition.
(I know that deli is a type of shop)

'i ran turned around' is the wordplay.
'ran' becomes 'led' ('lead' can be a synonym of 'run').
'turned around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'i'+'led'='iled'
'iled' back-to-front is 'DELI'.

(Other definitions for deli that I've seen before include "Unusual food shop" , "Specialist food shop" , "Food store" , "shop briefly" , "Exotic food shop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
