Customers in New York City and New Jersey can now buy Blue Apron meals via delivery and pick-up from Wonder locations

Wonder Group, a company founded by entrepreneur Marc Lore that is redefining at-home dining and food delivery, today will close its previously announced acquisition of Blue Apron (Nasdaq: APRN), the pioneer of the meal kit industry in the United States.

The acquisition will further enhance Wonder’s creation of the super app for mealtime, serving a broad range of dining occasions that feature cuisines from some of the world’s best chefs and restaurants.

Having pioneered a new category of “Fast Fine” dining through its collection of vertically-integrated, delivery-first restaurants, Wonder will now begin offering Blue Apron items to its customers in New York City and New Jersey, a key offering in the company’s strategic roadmap that will expand the ways consumers can access and experience great tasting food.
