Skroutz buys out courier enterprise

Online retail platform Skroutz is investing in the so-called last-mile sector - the last leg of deliveries to the consumer - as on Tuesday it announced the acquisition of 100% of MyJobNow Delivery, which operates the SendX courier service.

With this buyout, Skroutz will now be able to expand its activities, and Kathimerini understands that the price came to 2 million euros.
