London-based online takeout company Just Eat has acquired its former competitor Hungryhouse from Delivery Hero for £200 million.
Founded in 2001, Just Eat is an international food delivery service with target markets in Spain, Mexico, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
The company intends to use the funding to grow its customer base and expand the number of restaurants available through the service.
