hours of operation

When we're open

Hours of operation are the times when a business or facility is open to the public.

Posted near entrances or on websites, they tell customers when they can expect service: Hours of operation: Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm.

The phrase is more formal than simply "hours" or "business hours," appearing in official signage and legal contexts.
