Gateway to Close Its 188 Retail Stores
We Saw It Coming Dept: Besieged Gateway Inc. announced that it was closing all 188 retail stores. Personal Aside: I have to say I am not surprised. I went into the flagship store in Union Square to buy an external hard drive and a keychain flash drive. I waited in line even though the store had one other person. No one ever approached me or asked if I needed help. The clerk could not run my credit card for some reason, even though it works perfectly everywhere else. And I literally gave up and left the merchandise behind and went to CompUSA on the next corner. That said it all for me.
