The retailer’s Tesco Kipa subsidiary last year reported a turnover of TL1.65bn and expects this year to see that rise to TRL2bn, the spokesman said.
Tesco arrived in Turkey in 2003 buying 92.92% of the equity of the Izmir-based Kipa supermarket chain. Today, Tesco operates 48 hypermarkets, 66 Express outlets and 11 supermarkets under the Kipa brand, all located in west and central Turkey.
