twenty-four seven
Never closes, ever
Twenty-four seven means all the time, without interruption—twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The phrase describes continuous availability or operation: The store is open twenty-four seven, She works twenty-four seven.
Often written 24/7 or 24-7.
The expression emerged from service industries advertising round-the-clock hours and spread to describe any relentless activity: My brain runs twenty-four seven.
