NEW YORK – Uber is considering acquiring Grubhub in a deal that would give the companies control over a majority of the U.S.
food delivery business, according to published reports. Ride-sharing and food delivery giant Uber Technologies Inc. approached Grubhub Inc.
earlier this year with an all-stock takeover offer, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing sources. The two companies are continuing to discuss the combination, and Uber's board will consider it in the coming days.
Uber and Grubhub declined to comment on the report when contacted by The Associated Press. Combined, Uber Eats and Grubhub would control 55% of the U.S.
