Door Dash's European expansion continues
The world is not enough: food delivery giant Door Dash, which has just inked a USD 8 billion deal to buy Finnish startup Wolt, is widening the door to the European market.
Before the deal with Wolt, the group only delivered in USA, Canada, Australia and Japan. The takeover opened up 22 new national markets in Europe, including Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
The American company is now setting up its first own branch in Stuttgart. With this choice of location, Door Dash has opted for different approach. Many other delivery services picked Berlin as their starting point.
Door Dash founder Andy Fang was quoted in the press saying that the company will wait to see how the launch in Stuttgart fares before deciding whether to expand to other cities in Germany. (sh)
