i do not know english enough, but can't you ask:
SHOPS are open?
not only:
shops are OPEN?
or even:
SHOPS ARE OPEN?
(i don't belive any of your words :) )
with rising on every word
note that we can't figure out, about what author of the sentence have
asked...
so maybe we should write:
?shops? are open.
shops are ?open?
?shops are open?
