Our store is renewed: wider aisles, a new entrance and parking for 600 cars

The renovation of our store in Ataşehir, which began in June, is complete. Our entire 12,000 m² sales floor has new shelving, lighting and wayfinding signs. Because the work was done section by section and at night, the store did not close for a single day.

Fresh departments at the entrance

The first thing you see when you walk in is now our produce section and stone oven. The first loaf, out of the oven at 06:30, sits next to produce bought at the morning market. The butcher, fish and deli counters are right behind this fresh zone, on a single walking route.

Wider aisles, shorter walks

• Main aisles have widened from 2.4 to 3.2 metres, so two trolleys can pass side by side.
• Aisle numbers and ceiling signs are new; the store map is at the entrance and on the Our Store page of our website.
• Baby, pet and cleaning aisles are now grouped together in a “home needs” zone.

A separate line for wholesale

The wholesale section at the rear entrance has been reorganised for GÜL Card businesses. Case products sit on pallet racking, wholesale tills have their own line, and commercial vehicles can pull straight up to the loading bay. Families’ retail shopping and businesses’ case shopping no longer wait for each other.

Parking for 600 cars

The parking level has been extended to 600 spaces, with 12 charging points for electric cars and 18 spaces closest to the entrance for disabled drivers. Parking is free for store customers.

General Manager Emre Doğanay said: “Instead of opening branches, we choose to make our one store a little better every year. This renovation is a thank-you to the neighbours who have trusted us at the same address since 1987.”
