open sign

Business hours beacon

An open sign is a notice displayed in a storefront window or door indicating the business is currently operating and customers may enter.

The classic version features red neon letters, though LED and printed versions are common.

The sign faces outward and is typically flipped or switched off when the business closes.

The open sign flickered to life at 7 a.m.
