English isn't my native language, I thought it referred to business as in office. Because other jobs definitely don't keep those hours.

Also I was genuinely curious, id never heard of that. Everything is open at least 8-6 here. Cultural differences I guess.

Yeah, in English a "Business" is just an entity that makes/sells/trades goods/services. A shop is typically the location where a business resides. It's the physical location of the business. Business hours in the USA are typically 9am to 5pm. Sometimes we call them bank hours.
