“There’s a new pie shop near me. It’s open 22/7”

“24/7” usually means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—all the time. “22/7” is an approximation for the number π (“pi”).
 
“There’s a new shop only sells Pies it’s open 22/7” was posted on Twitter by Martin Topping on May 11, 2011. “There’s a new pie shop near me. It’s open 22/7” was posted on Twitter by The Dad Joke Man on April 20, 2019.
   
     
Wikipedia: Pi
The number π (/paɪ/) is a mathematical constant. Originally defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, it now has various equivalent definitions and appears in many formulas in all areas of mathematics and physics. It is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter “π” since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi”. It is also called Archimedes’ constant.
 
Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed as a common fraction (equivalently, its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanently repeating pattern). Still, fractions such as 22/7 and other rational numbers are commonly used to approximate π.

Perhaps we should open a restaurant called Pi, we can decide on the menu later, but I insist it’s open 22/7…
