As a subsidiary of Sabancı Holding, CarrefourSA has opened its 400th franchise, continuing its growth by supporting small businesses through its franchise system. Promoting entrepreneurs and small businesses under its 'New Generation Supermarket' concept, CarrefourSA continues to expand with the slogan “The Right Ones Are at CarrefourSA”. 

CarrefourSA, a leading brand in Turkey’s retail sector and a subsidiary of Sabancı Holding, operates 1,100 stores across 60 cities with a workforce of 11,000 employees. Offering more than 50,000 products, CarrefourSA continues to deliver the right products from the right producers at the right prices, while also growing through its franchise system that supports small businesses and entrepreneurs. 

CarrefourSA opened its 400th franchise in Bakırköy, Istanbul, through its franchise system that enables small and medium-sized businesses to trade under the trusted CarrefourSA brand. CarrefourSA Executive Board Member and Deputy General Manager Bulut Batum stated, "To ensure the sustainability of our sector, we need to support economic development. In this regard, integrating small businesses and entrepreneurs into the system is essential for strengthening organized food retail. Through our franchise system, we provide tradespeople and entrepreneurs the opportunity to conduct business under the trusted CarrefourSA brand. We welcome local tradespeople who know their region and community best into our family, offering them the security of the CarrefourSA name." 

Batum also emphasized the value of the franchise system not only for the organized food retail sector but also for the Turkish economy, saying: “We were the first to implement the franchise system in the organized food retail sector. This system not only makes it easier for consumers to access CarrefourSA's quality and experience but also offers small businesses and entrepreneurs a profitable investment opportunity while providing employment to the local area. The biggest advantage of our franchise system, which we pioneered for the future and sustainability of our sector, is that small business owners and entrepreneurs feel the strength of both the international Carrefour and Sabancı brands behind them. With our knowledge, logistics network, marketing communication, and digital technology infrastructure, our franchisees become part of the CarrefourSA family. We support them in all aspects, from product and stock management, IT systems, and logistics processes to design and accounting, enabling them to offer the right products to consumers in their region with CarrefourSA’s quality and assurance. Additionally, thanks to CarrefourSA's strong purchasing power, our franchisees can access products at much more affordable prices and pass these savings on to our customers. We are making steady progress toward our three-year goal of 1,000 franchises, and we are proud and happy to see the growing interest in our franchise system and CarrefourSA’s reliability. In the coming period, we will also increase the number of female franchisees from the current 60 and continue to grow with small businesses and entrepreneurs through our franchise system."
