What the petition asks
Temporarily close all The Range stores during lockdown and the Covid-19 pandemic like other non-essential stores have had to.
To help save lives, and protect the public health, stopping people going out for non-essential goods during the lockdown shopping at the range and mixing, putting staff and the public at risk in these stores, other business have had to close stores and I don’t see why this excludes the range.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

If you'd like to see a change to the types of businesses that are allowed to open during the lockdown, you could start or sign a petition calling for that to happen, such as this one:
