I've modified your code a little, making use of date.js:

var da = new Date();
document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = da.toDateString();




//gets the current time. 
//var d = new Date();
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("start")[0].innerText;
var z = document.getElementsByClassName("end")[0].innerText;
//var o = parseInt(x,10);
//var c = parseInt(z,10);

var startTime = Date.parseExact(x, "h:mm tt");
var endTime = Date.parseExact(z, "h:mm tt");

if (da.between(startTime, endTime)){
    $(".open").show();
    $(".closed").hide();
}
else {  
    $(".closed").show();
    $(".open").hide();
}

.open, .closed {
  display: none;
}

<span class="day">Monday </span>
<span class="start">8:30 am</span> - 
<span class="end">5:30 pm</span>
<br>
<span id="display"></span>
<div class="open">Shop is open</div>
<div class="closed">Shop is closed</div>

I haven't looked into it sufficiently so I don't know how it works regarding the timezone. You might have to adjust what I've posted to account for that.

Also: added a CSS rule to avoid the brief flash of both open and closed being displayed before one of them is hidden by jQuery.
