Just Eat Takeaway, Europe's largest meal delivery company, is selling its US-based unit Grubhub to Wonder, a New York-based restaurant chain, for USD650 million, just four years after acquiring it for USD7.3 billion. The sale comes as Just Eat faces declining demand post-pandemic and increased competition, with its shares plummeting by 90% since their peak in 2020. The deal, expected to close in early 2025, aims to boost Just Eat's cash flow and growth, while Wonder, led by former Walmart executive Marc Lore, plans to expand its fast casual restaurant chain and create a "super app" for food delivery. This strategic move reflects the challenges faced by food delivery companies due to fee caps in US cities and the fading pandemic-driven demand.
