GameStop: We Can Stay Open During Lockdowns Because We're 'Essential Retail'

The video game retail chain GameStop told all of its stores this afternoon to stay open even in the event of state or city lockdowns to protect against the covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing that it is “essential retail” alongside groceries and pharmacies and should therefore be exempt from enforced closures.

“Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers’ experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time,” the retailer said in a memo to staff this afternoon, obtained by Kotaku.

If you are not familiar with GameStop, they are a retailer that sells gaming consoles and video games which happens to be on the very edge of going bankrupt.

Now I know why we didn't take down our tree at the farm in the Adirondacks...it is on a cold porch and still is as fresh as when it went up on Christmas eve.

Hope the tree helps drive away this terrible virus.

Be safe...stay strong...don't panic
