总部位于阿姆斯特丹的Just Eat于2021年收购了Grubhub，以进军美国外卖市场。多年来，该公司一直在寻找一种方式来出售Grubhub。迫于投资者的压力，该公司最初于2022年4月宣布计划出售Grubhub，当时该公司正努力抵御来自Uber Eats和DoorDash等美国竞争对手的竞争。Wonder Group Inc. will announce an agreement from Europe's largest takeaway company Just Eat Takeaway on Wednesday to sell its US subsidiary Grubhub to Wonder Group at a price of 0.65 billion dollars. This price is far lower than the 7.3 billion dollars it spent to acquire Grubhub in the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Just Eat said in a statement on its website that the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. The company expects a net profit of up to 50 million dollars from the deal.
“Selling Grubhub to Wonder will increase Just Eat Takeaway's cash-generating capacity,” said Geet Glenn, the company's CEO.
Amsterdam-based Just Eat acquired Grubhub in 2021 to enter the US takeout market. The company has been looking for a way to sell Grubhub for years. Pressured by investors, the company initially announced plans to sell Grubhub in April 2022, when the company was struggling to withstand competition from US rivals such as Uber Eats and DoorDash.
Wonder CEO Mark Lohr said the company will pay $0.142 billion in cash and assume $0.5 billion in GrubHub debt.
