Gateway computer stores closing

Today is the last day Gateway computers stores will be open. The company announced last month it is closing its 188 stores for good, including its location at 7390 N Academy Blvd., in Colorado Springs.

When the doors are locked today, not only will 2,500 jobs be lost but so will activity that accounted for one-third of the company’s revenue last year.

Customers will now have to contact the company via phone, Web or mail.
