H&M or Home Depot

STORE

["Think of a place where you might buy clothes, tools, or groceries—it’s a general term for a retail business with a physical location."]

This clue names two well-known retail chains, H&M and Home Depot, as examples of places where you’d go to buy things. Both are types of "stores," so the answer is the general word for any business that sells goods to customers. It’s a straightforward definition clue—no wordplay or tricks—just pointing to the category these brands fall under. Think of it like naming two dogs and asking for the word "animal."
