By Cara Lombardo
Uber Technologies Inc. is seeking to acquire GrubHub Inc. in a
deal that would unite two of the biggest players in meal delivery
at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has sparked a surge in
demand for their services.
Uber, which in addition to its flagship ride business operates a
big meal-delivery unit known as Uber Eats, earlier this year
approached GrubHub with a takeover offer and the companies continue
to discuss a possible combination, according to people familiar
with the matter.
It's far from guaranteed the talks will produce a deal.
Should one come to pass, it would reshape the meal-delivery
business, a key pillar of the new economy whose prominence has been
heightened by the pandemic.
As of earlier Tuesday morning, GrubHub had a market value of
$4.4 billion while Uber's was $54 billion.
