General
Can I shop online at GÜL GROSS MARKET?
No, our website does not offer online sales. It provides our product catalogue, current prices, weekly deal brochures and campaign information; you can do your shopping at our store in Ataşehir. GÜL Card businesses can also order by phone for delivery.
Are the prices on the website valid in the store?
Prices on the website are for information and are updated during the day. There may be small differences depending on stock; the price that applies at the till is the one on the shelf label.

Our store
What are your opening hours?
Our store is open Monday to Saturday 08:00–22:00 and Sunday 09:00–21:00. The wholesale section and GÜL Card tills keep the same hours. We announce holiday hours on the Our Store page.
How do I get to your store, and is there parking?
Our store is in Ataşehir, 3 minutes from the motorway junction and a 5-minute walk from the metro station. We have free covered parking for 600 cars and a separate loading bay for commercial vehicles. See the Our Store page for the map and directions.
Can I return a product I bought?
Unopened products in resaleable condition can be returned to the information desk at our store entrance within 14 days with your receipt. For food items that are defective or spoiled, we exchange or refund even if the packaging has been opened.
Which payment methods are accepted in the store?
We accept cash, all debit and credit cards, contactless payments and meal cards. In our wholesale section, GÜL Card businesses can also pay by bank transfer or on agreed credit terms.
Campaigns & weekly deals
When is the weekly deals brochure updated?
Our weekly deals brochure is published every other Thursday and becomes valid in our store from Friday morning. The validity dates of each brochure are clearly stated on its page.
What happens if a weekly deal product sells out?
Weekly deal products are available while stocks last and some may sell out quickly. We do not issue rain checks, but our staff can tell you whether a new delivery is expected during the same campaign period.
Do campaigns apply to both retail and wholesale purchases?
Retail campaigns apply to all customers. Case and wholesale deals apply only at the wholesale tills with a GÜL Card, and some campaigns may have a per-customer limit. This is stated in each campaign’s terms.
Can I mix different products in “Buy 3 Pay 2” offers?
Unless the terms say otherwise, you can combine different products included in the same offer. The lowest-priced item is free, and the discount is applied automatically at the till.
Wholesale & GÜL Card
What is the GÜL Card and who can apply?
The GÜL Card is a free programme that lets businesses buy at wholesale prices with a corporate invoice in our store’s wholesale section. Any tax-registered business such as restaurants, hotels, cafés, grocers, offices and institutions can apply.
Which documents are required to apply for a GÜL Card?
You need a current tax certificate, signature circular and a copy of the authorised person’s ID. After you fill in the form on the Wholesale page, an account manager contacts you and your card is usually activated within two business days.
Is there a minimum purchase for wholesale prices?
Wholesale prices apply when you buy the minimum quantity or case set for each product. Each product page shows the wholesale unit price, minimum quantity and units per case; the more you buy, the lower the unit price.
Do you deliver to my business?
For wholesale orders above a set amount, we offer scheduled delivery to businesses within 25 km of our store using our own vans. Contact your account manager or call 0850 000 00 00 for delivery terms and schedules.

How can I become a GÜL GROSS MARKET supplier?
Simply fill in the form on the Become a Supplier page with your company details and product groups. Your application is reviewed by the relevant category team, who will contact you for a product presentation if there is a fit.
Which documents and certificates do suppliers need?
Food suppliers are asked for a business registration/approval certificate, ISO 22000 or an equivalent food safety certification, and product analysis reports. All suppliers are subject to regular quality audits.
Do you work with local and small producers?
Yes, most of our fresh produce comes from local producers within 150 km of our store. Our Local Producer Programme offers small producers flexible delivery plans and quality development support.
