The store’s opening and closing hours are shown in the store locator’s front end and reflect the store’s business hours. In many cases, a store operates with the same timing for the whole week. However, some businesses have varied working hours. For example, a store might be closed for an hour or two on weekends. In this case, the store will need to have non-regular working hours displayed on the store info box.
