GameStop is temporarily closing all its US-based retail locations and moving to "delivery only" starting on March 22nd, the company announced today . It's an abrupt reversal for the company, which just a few days ago was defending its decision to keep its stores open , as an "essential" business, and was instructing staff to ignore coronavirus-related lockdowns.
GameStop CEO George Sherman said in a letter to customers that it will "will temporarily stop customer access to storefronts" and would be processing orders on a "digital-only" basis. Customers can use the GameStop app or QR codes at its stores, though future purchases will be given to customers via curbside pickup at its retail stores or through e-commerce deliveries.
