Opening-times.co.uk

Opening-times.co.uk was founded in 2008 as the first website to focus entirely on collecting opening times in the UK and making these available to the public. With the listing of opening times of nearly 150,000 companies, Opening-times.co.uk is the most complete website with up-to-date opening times, including shops open on Sundays, shops that offer late night shopping and shops open on bank holidays. It's no surprise that our platform was mentioned by leading UK media such as The Guardian, HuffPost, Metro, Dailystar, Startups.co.uk and many others.

well over a hundred thousand By now, Opening-times.co.uk has become one of the most popular websites in the retail business, with millions of UK visitors every month. However, Opening-times.co.uk is more than just a place to look up opening times. We also offer information about all the popular shops, residential boulevards and shopping centres in the Netherlands.

The technology behind our current database

We have developed special software to collect and index opening hours and business data in our database. This so-called 'crawler' indexes the opening times of most stores on our platform at least once a week. Some retailers manage the data themselves, sometimes with the use of our APIs.

Every week, our 'crawler' visits thousands of web pages to see if we show the most current data on our website. This makes Opening-times.co.uk the most up-to-date opening times platform in the Netherlands, including opening times during bank holidays, when opening times often deviate.

How can I list my business?

How can I change my business data?

You can change your business listing via the management portal at Opening-times.co.uk. To change an entry that has not yet been added to your account, select ‘manage’ on the detail page of the entry (bottom right).

My business is only open by appointment, can I display it as such?

On the entry screen of your opening times, you can select ‘by appointment’ for each day or period that you only work by appointment. This will be displayed on Opening-times.co.uk.

My business has opening times on Sundays and late night shopping on specific days, can I display this?

You can specify this on Opening-times.co.uk, be selecting 'recurring' Sunday opening times, such as 'first Sunday of the month, last Sunday of the month', etc. or you can select incidental Sunday opening times on specific dates on the calendar.

My business has custom holiday opening times, can I display this?

You can specify this on Opening-times.co.uk, at the bottom of the entry page for your opening times is a list of bank holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Spring Bank Holiday and so on. There, you can specify the changed opening times and whether your business is closed.

My business has seasonal opening times, can I enter these as well?

Seasonal opening times are also supported on our platform. When entering opening times, you can specify the period for which these are applicable and thus add a number of seasons/periods. This possibility is mainly used by companies in tourist areas.

My business has different opening times for different departments, does that fit within one entry?

Specific department opening times are supported and can be added when entering your business data. This option is often used by garages with a showroom, where the sales and the garage department each have their own opening times. A store chain can use this option for the custom opening times for their various customers. For example, McDonald's uses it to indicate the opening times of the Restaurant and the McDrive.

Why isn't my business listed at the top of the category list?

The display order of businesses is based on the distance from your current (specified) location, the business that is closest to it will be shown at the top.
