Tony Hoggett, a top executive at Amazon who was brought in three years ago to run the e-commerce giant’s brick-and-mortar division, including its grocery stores, has agreed to join the delivery-focused restaurant chain Wonder as its chief operating officer, the company told Fortune exclusively.

New York City–based Wonder is run by serial entrepreneur Marc Lore and operates 27 fast-casual restaurants in the northeast that offer around two dozen different cuisines or menus to diners out of a single location. The company has partnered with renowned chefs like Bobby Flay and Marcus Samuelsson to sell versions of their signature dishes, from high-end steak to fried chicken sandwiches, to customers who predominantly order from the food-hall-style restaurant for takeout or delivery. Wonder has raised $1.5 billion since its founding, and is planning to open a total of 100 locations by January of 2026. The company is also testing versions of its restaurants inside four Walmart supercenter stores.
