Spanish food delivery startup Glovo has struck a deal with Swiss real estate firm Stoneweg SA to invest €100mil (RM490.69mil) to expand its network of convenience stores.

Stoneweg will build and refurbish real estate for the “dark stores”, which are delivery-only convenience markets, in countries where Glovo is already operating, such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Romania, Glovo said in a statement on Jan 19.
