CarrefourSA is a Turkish retail operator formed as a joint venture between Sabancı Holding and Carrefour Group. It traces its origins to Carrefour Group’s entry into Turkey in 1993, with the Sabancı–Carrefour partnership establishing CarrefourSA in 1996 and opening its first market in Adana in 1997. The company runs a multi-format network—Hyper, Super, Gourmet, and Mini—across Turkey and operates an online market to meet diverse shopping needs, carrying a broad assortment of products. Headquartered in Istanbul, CarrefourSA is a large employer within the Turkish retail sector. Since management shifted to Sabancı Holding in 2013, the company has pursued investments in people and technology and has introduced initiatives such as Lezzet Arası restaurants and a Bayilik program to connect with local merchants under its New Generation Market vision. A recent development is a strategic collaboration with İş Bankası and Visa to implement an advanced payment system across CarrefourSA's network.
