💬 Quote of the Week
“Gobbling up its competitor could allow Getir to acquire more customers, increase its market share in Gorillas’ European markets — and take a well-known competitor out of the equation, even at a potentially huge cost. It would also gain access to Gorillas’ 180 “dark stores” spread across 44 European cities. These sites, which act as mini-warehouses in residential areas to make 30-minute delivery times possible, are increasingly hard to get hold of as regulators crack down across Europe. Two sources familiar with the transaction tell Sifted that Getir’s primary motivation to buy Gorillas is to get its hands on this real estate.”
