National Retail Federation Seeks Clarification on 'Essential Businesses'
As more states move to issue shelter-in-place orders that allow only "essential businesses" to remain open, the National Retail Federation (NRF) has written a letter to President Trump asking for clarification on what, exactly, qualifies as essential.
Typically such businesses have included grocery stores, pharmacies, and banks, but the trade group believes more businesses should be included, such as convenience stores; transportation and delivery services that ship groceries and other items; agricultural and farm retail stores, including pet stores; gas stations, auto parts, and auto repair shops; hardware and home improvement stores; and more.
