Etymology
営業 (“sales”) + 中 (“in the process of”)
Noun
- open (a store, shop, or restaurant)
Usage notes
This is often printed on signs hanging at the entrance of a shop or restaurant and is shown when the store is open. The reverse says 準備中 (junbichū). These signs are the Japanese equivalent of the English signs saying (Come in we're) open/(Sorry we're) closed.
This word is much more common than the synonym 商い中 (akinaichū) which is used for the same purpose.
