business hours
When shops open
Business hours are the times when a business is open and operating, typically during the day on weekdays.
The phrase often implies roughly 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday: Please call during business hours.
Outside business contexts, it signals normal waking hours when it's appropriate to contact someone: I'll text you during business hours.
