Business Hours

American business hours vary depending on the company. A good rule of thumb for smaller businesses is 9-6 Monday through Friday. Larger companies and corporations will generally be open early and close late, so there won't be too much trouble getting what you need.

Shops

Stores, shops, and supermarkets are usually open Monday-Saturday 9-6, although in major cities supermarkets are often open from 7:30 AM to 9 PM. Most shopping malls are generally open until 9 PM. Drugstores in major cities are often open until 11 PM, and convenience stores are often open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
