Those weird ghost kitchen things have more than half a billion dollars to spend on acquisitions?!

I wonder how this came to be - did they already have that big of a war chest, or did they hear they could buy a name brand and go back to their investors to finance it?

I have a bad feeling about Wonder. One opened near my office and had a load of free meal promotions and it was packed. A few weeks later it went very quiet. I had a few meals and they were decidedly meh. The promise of ordering options across a dozen different cuisines is appealing but not when all of them are underwhelming.
