NEW YORK, Aug. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire is investigating certain officers and directors of Grubhub, Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP), and PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSMT) on behalf of stockholders. More information about each potential case can be found at the link provided.
Grubhub, Inc. (NYSE: GRUB)
On July 11, 2019, the New York Post reported that a New York City council member, Mark Gjonaj, asked New York’s Attorney General to commence an antitrust probe of Grubhub in a letter dated July 2, 2019. Gjonaj stated that the “time may have come” for the Attorney General to revisit the terms of a 2013 settlement agreement that cleared the way for Grubhub’s acquisition of Seamless. He also stated “that Grubhub’s outsized market share and heavy-handed tactics could lead to artificially reduced competition which in turn may drive up the commissions paid by struggling locally owned restaurants.”
The Post also reported that, “In June, the City Council held a hearing on how Grubhub charges fees as high as 30% for its services and questioned Grubhub executives about The Post’s reports that the company charged restaurants thousands of dollars in commissions for phone orders that never happened.”
Additionally, the Post reported that “New York’s Liquor Authority was developing new rules that will significantly curb the delivery industry’s ability to charge double-digit percentages for online ordering and delivery.”
