365 means they don't close for holidays. I don't know what 52 would mean.

There's 52 weeks in a year.

24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year.

What business closes for a week out of a year? Are there businesses which are 24/7/50?

UK. Last week of the year (Christmas celebrations and so, you know) this joint shuts down.

Gotcha, here in the US most people will take off that week, but no business would ever shut down entirely for a week. You'd piss off all of your customers and associates. (Which is why American workers hate dealing with ones in the EU, they're always on vacation!)

Whoever doesn't stay home during the Christmas period in the US gets accolades from management, so there's incentive to work if you're career-focused.
