In the recent episode of BC Food News, host Jennifer English covers the major acquisition news of Wonder, a food hall and delivery app purchasing leading food ordering and delivery platform Grubhub. The integration aims to enhance mealtime convenience and accessibility by offering food from various restaurants, groceries, and meal kit providers within a single app. It also opens up third-party delivery services from all Wonder food hall locations through Grubhub. With this strategic move, valued at $650 million, Wonder also raised an additional $250 million capital from new investors. It's also noted that Wonder's unique features like Multi-Restaurant Ordering and partnerships with famous chefs separate it from its competitors. Meanwhile, Grubhub has spent the last two decades building its reputable platform. CEOs of Wonder and Grubhub, Marc Lore and Howard Migdal, respectively, expressed their confidence that this union would greatly benefit their companies and customers.
