Just Eat swallows Grubhub creating restaurant delivery giant
Two pioneers in restaurant delivery — Just Eat Takeaway.com and Grubhub — are combining in a $7.3 billion deal that will create one of the world’s largest delivery companies.
Amsterdam-based Just Eat Takeaway.com said late Wednesday that it was acquiring Chicago-based Grubhub, snatching it away from ride-hailing giant Uber, which had been reportedly seeking to team Grubhub with its Uber Eats business.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021. The combined company will be headquartered in Amsterdam, with its U.S. headquarters in Chicago.
=====================================================================
I've yet to try GrubHub, which services some local restaurants. Several restaurants that offer curbside pickup + telephone/credit card ordering are only a few minutes drive away.
