Six months ago, we introduced Wonder to the world – laying out our vision for the future of at-home dining and putting our first proverbial “steak” in the ground for how we’re going to get there.
It’s pretty special what you can accomplish with a big, bold vision, the best people, and the capital to execute. We’ve made incredible progress over the last six months…
- Wonder is now available in 22 towns and over 130K households.
- We’ve built 19 mobile restaurant chains from the ground up – including Bar Nakazawa, Nancy Silverton’s Pizzeria Mozza, Bobby Flay Steak, Chios Taverna by Michael Symon, Di Fara Pizza, and Tejas Barbecue.
- And, we’ve created over 1,250 jobs in New Jersey alone!
Today, we’re excited to announce the next big step in our journey – a $350M Series B led by Bain Capital Ventures. New investors include Forerunner, Amex Ventures, Yieldstreet, Harmony Partners, and Watar Partners, among others; with participation from existing investors GV, NEA, Accel, General Catalyst, and Alpine Group.
As we look ahead, we’ll stay focused on our mission and vision as we continue to scale within the tri-state area – Bergen County is next on the list! We are also hard at work launching 11 more restaurants, increasing our total offering to more than 30 mobile restaurant chains by this time next year. And, our innovative techniques, technology, world-class culinary partnerships, and talent opens up so much potential for exciting, new possibilities. Wonder has a real opportunity to not only completely change how people eat, but also to create a better future with access to the world’s best food in a convenient, affordable, and sustainable way.
A couple of weeks ago I received a letter from Abigail, a soon-to-be fifth-grader from Jefferson Elementary School and I think she said it best…
“Do you smell that? The crazy, phenomenal smell of food drifting through the air. I hear it, it’s here – the Wonder truck is near! No food in the pantry? Don’t want to cook? Wonder will save the day! It’s the tastiest food you’ll experience, the service is welcoming, and the atmosphere is very comfortable.”
