With international growth plans sputtering, rapid grocery delivery company Getir is exiting the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, and The Netherlands to focus on its core market in Turkey.

The company intends to use the Chapter 11 proceedings to wind down operations and dispose of inventory and assets. As of March 4th, the company has ceased all operations from its 39 stores in New York City and Chicago.

Rapid online grocery is getting a lot of attention – and investment – lately, but I have to wonder how many of these services will make it in the long run.

Getir, which has raised over $1.1 billion in funding this year, has started operations in Chicago for the first time, debuting its ultrafast grocery delivery services to the United States.
