Covid-19 Communications Caused Confusion and Fear While other retailers closed stores to protect the health and safety of employees and customers, GameStop remained open... On March 19, 2020, GameStop sent a letter to all employees titled, "Store Letter to Law Enforcement" "...we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time." "We have received reports of local authorities visiting stores in an attempt to enforce closure despite our classification. Store Managers are approved to provide the document linked below to law enforcement as needed." On March 22, 2020, following a public outcry from employees, customers and the media, GameStop reversed course and closed its stores.
