BuyWithMe, the group buying site with headquarters in Boston and New York, said today that is has acquired Scoop St., a group buying site focused closely on New York local deals. No financial terms were disclosed. BuyWithMe offers will be available to Scoop St. immediately, and come September 12, Scoop St. will no longer be a separate entity and will be entirely rolled into BuyWithMe. This deal continues BuyWithMe’s 2011 spree of acquisitions, including LocalTwist (active in Seattle and San Diego), San Francisco-based Group Swoop, Chicago-based DealADayOnline, and Cambridge, MA-based Edhance.
