All you have to do is sell food to stay open. Sometimes not even that. Most of the big box retailers added grocery in the last couple of decades. Even office max was open a few days ago when I needed some shipping supplies.


Stores that sell equipment for working from home are considered essential, and Office Max definitely counts.


This varies significantly on a state by state basis.


I'm in Santa Clara county, CA. Where it first started and the first restrictions were put in place (a short walk from the first case in a hospital in the US). I can imagine that there are a few places stricter, but I haven't heard of any of the traditional big box stores closing (at least any of them which would have a banana for sale).
