It was a good effort. Methods can be a little confusing (especially with self). There's two things here. First, make sure to use 'return' instead of 'print'. It wants the method to return the value to the method call. Using 'print' will just print it to the console. Also, make sure the 'e' in 'We' is lowercase. Second, you will need to put 'self.' in front of the variables open and close. I hope this helps.

class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 10

    def hours(self):
        return "We're open from {} to {}".format(self.open, self.close)
