According to multiple sources, Yahoo has made it clear it is willing to purchase deal-of-the-day behemoth Groupon for up to $4 billion USD.
Groupon localizes multiple deals per day to major markets in the United States. Offers range from coupons off food, to discounts on major surgeries, like laser eye corrective surgery.
Once a certain amount of users purchase the Groupon, the deal is activated.
Small businesses use Groupon as a way to get new clients in the door.
Although many other smaller rival services have popped up in the last year, Groupon remains the top dog in the market.
Yahoo has almost $3 billion in cash, and little debt.
