CENTRAL, Hong Kong - Oct. 12, 2023 - PRLog -- Wonder Group will pay Blue Apron shareholders $13 per share under the all-cash transaction, a 137% premium to Blue Apron's closing price on Thursday. Wonder, a privately held company, provides home delivery of meals made by celebrity chefs such as Bobby Flay and Michael Symon, as well as pick up and in-store dining at its locations.

Marc Lore, Founder and CEO of Wonder Group, stated that acquiring Blue Apron will advance the strategic position of the company, provide immediate synergies, and increase the ways customers may experience Wonder.
