Standing out with its merchant-friendly business model in the food retail sector, Seç Market attended the ‘Retail Days’ held at Istanbul Halic Congress Center on 29-30 May 2024. Organized since 2001, bringing together over 10,000 sector representatives from retailers to shopping malls, technology companies to suppliers, the event provides important business opportunities for participants. Seç Market’s stand, designed to resemble a Seç store, became the center of attention for visitors at the fair. Within the scope of the event, Seç Market General Manager Altan Sekmen spoke in the session he attended about the current position of modern retail and the transformation model that Seç Market brings to modern retail with its merchant-friendly business model. ‘With our merchant-friendly business model, we play a very important role in the retail sector’ said Altan Sekmen, General Manager of Seç Market, in a speech titled ‘Modern Retail with Merchant Warmth: A Guiding Transformation Model’ at the event. Sekmen stated the following: ‘We are happy to evaluate new business opportunities by meeting valuable participants from various sectors at Retail Days, one of Turkey’s largest business events. As Seç Market, we are at the forefront in our sector with our business model that preserves our traditional merchant culture. While the neighborhood shop transformed into Seç Market continues to be the owner of its business, it acquires a modern look and operation, providing affordable product supply. Thus, the merchants who previously struggled in competition with organized retail strengthen. The customer also has the opportunity to shop at a modern store with a wide range of products, from a familiar merchant, at even more affordable prices than before. Both the merchant and the customer are happy. At the same time, we contribute to the local economy by selling local fruits and vegetables and being able to supply local products to our shelves through Seç dealerships. In addition, for the past two years, we support women entrepreneurship with online training sessions we organize for women entrepreneurs under the name ‘Smile with Your Power’. In our Seç ecosystem, which is growing day by day with the interest from merchants, the number of businesses transformed into Seç Market has reached close to 2,800 today. We have one of the largest and strongest franchise systems in Turkey. Our goal is to increase this number every day to strengthen both neighborhood merchants and our country’s economy all over the country.
