Carrefour Turkey (CarrefourSA) stands as one of the most prominent retail markets in the country, offering a vast array of food products, clothing, electronics, and home essentials. Merging French retail heritage with Turkish market knowledge, it serves as a daily destination for thousands of shoppers.
As of late 2025, Carrefour Turkey operates a network of over 1,200 stores across approximately 70 provinces. The store formats range from massive Carrefour Hypermarkets to convenient Carrefour Mini stores, catering to diverse needs from full weekly grocery hauls to quick daily essentials.
About Carrefour Turkey
Carrefour originally started in France in 1963 and has since expanded to over 30 countries globally. In Turkey, it operates as a joint venture, combining international standards with local expertise.
The brand introduced the hypermarket concept to Turkish consumers, focusing on a policy of value and quality. The first store opened in 1993, and by 1996, Carrefour solidified its presence through a partnership with Sabancı Holding, opening its flagship store in İstanbul-İçerenköy.
In 2013, management shifted largely to Sabancı Holding, one of the biggest conglomerates in Turkey, which fueled massive expansion. Today, the company focuses on its “New Generation Market” vision, emphasizing sustainability and digitalization.
Under the motto “Doğrusu CarrefourSA’da” (The Right Choice is at CarrefourSA), the company has committed to 100% certified sourcing for key commodities by the end of 2025. While they continue to support local agriculture, the focus has shifted toward sustainable and risk-free supply chains.
Digital growth has been explosive. By September 2025, online sales accounted for 15.4% of the company’s total turnover, with the brand serving a total of 500,000 customers daily across physical and digital channels.
The network has grown to include 1,217 stores, including 20 Hypermarkets, 263 Supermarkets, 269 Mini markets, 56 Gurme markets, and a rapidly expanding network of 609 Franchise (Bayi) stores.
