Gateway Inc. was known nationally as the computer company with the cow-print boxes and rural advertising, but on this date in 2003, the Sioux City-based company began its break from its rural roots as it announced drastic cuts at plants in Sioux Falls and North Sioux City. The PC manufacturer struggled in the dot-com bust of the early 2000s, and founder and CEO Ted Waitt began renovating the company's product line. This meant job losses at home, where cuts a few months prior had left 450 people without work in Sioux City. Within a year's time, all of the Gateway stores were closed and much of its labor outsourced. By 2007, Gateway had been acquired by a larger computer manufacturer, Acer.
