Are there any APIs that will provide the hours of operation for a business at a particular location? Google Places, SimpleGeo, and Yelp don't seem to expose it. If not, is there some dataset that exists (again, i couldn't find one on data.gov or anything) that i could use to create such an API?
The Geolocation API returns a location and accuracy radius based on information about cell towers and WiFi nodes that the mobile client can detect.
API-Hour is a lightweight daemon framework, that lets you write powerful applications.
Usage feesThe Google My Business API is available to registered users at no charge.
Places API is not free, however, once you set up your billing account, you will be entitled for a one time $300 free credit(usable for Google Cloud Platform products) and a monthly recurring $200 free credit(exclusive for Google Maps Platform products), after consuming the credits, you will receive an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT ...
The feature request to the Google Places API mentioned by Mihai Danila has been since fulfilled.

Opening hours are now returned in Place Details results where available: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details#PlaceDetailsResults https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details#PlaceDetailsResponses
Place Search results also now include a property that indicates if a business is currently open.
You may want to contact DNB and see if they have an offering since they are the prime source of business information: http://www.dnb.com
Just because they do not offer it as a product publicly does not mean that they cannot build a service to provide what you need.
