20 restaurants in one? Robot delivery? It’s coming to Fort Worth area

Wonder, a new take-out restaurant and delivery kitchen offering dishes from more than 20 restaurants, some by nationally known chefs, will open in Fort Worth and Southlake, according to state filings.

New York-based Wonder will open at 2600 W. Seventh St. in Montgomery Plaza and at 2055 W. Southlake Blvd. in Southlake Marketplace near the Keller border, according to applications filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

Both locations are between 3,000 and 4,000 square feet, according to the applications. The Fort Worth location was a former Pei Wei.

Wonder also owns the Grubhub delivery service. Some locations deliver using robot carts from Austin-based Avride.

The locations offer dishes from more than 20 different restaurants at once, packed for takeout or delivery, according to a recent company profile in NJBIZ.

It was founded in 2021 by former Walmart executive and diapers.com founder Marc Lore. Wonder is centered around smartphone ordering and an automated kitchen.

This week, Wonder bought Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken, a chef-founded restaurant from New York. Other Wonder offerings include takeout dishes from chefs José Andrés, Bobby Flay or Marcus Samuelsson, plus Tomball, Texas-based Tejas Barbecue & Chocolate.

The company has more than 120 locations in the northeast U.S.

The Business Insider news website visited a Wonder in Washington, D.C., and found an impersonal counter with tablets for customers to place orders.

A takeout dinner of a steak and a chicken sandwich was ready in 10 minutes, but Business Insider described it as “unremarkable.”

The Fort Worth location is listed as opening in June, according to the application. although that date is not definite. The Southlake location is listed as opening in August.
