Gateway PCs to Be Sold by CompUSA

Gateway Inc. is expected to announce today that it will begin selling computers this week through CompUSA Inc.’s network of 226 retail stores.

The move is the latest push by Poway, Calif.-based Gateway into retail chains after the closure in April of its own nationwide network of 188 stores.

Gateway has said that it hopes to return to profitability next year, and recently announced deals to sell its Gateway and EMachines computers through Best Buy Co. and its Best Buy Canada and Future Shop chains.

Gateway also sells computers through Costco Wholesale Corp. and Office Depot Inc.
