API for getting business hours at a location?

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?

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.
