ISTANBUL, Dec. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Getir, the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery, acquired FreshDirect, a US-based online grocery company with an annual turnover of 650 million dollars and 3000 employees, from Ahold Delhaize, one of the largest food retail groups in the US. This acquisition will create significant synergies between Getir and FreshDirect. Getir's technological power will improve FreshDirect's technological infrastructure, and FreshDirect customers will receive their orders much faster with Getir's agile approach. With FreshDirect's wide product portfolio and broad customer base, Getir will accelerate the growth of its fast delivery business in the US.
FreshDirect has been at the forefront of online grocery shopping for over 20 years. In line with its name, FreshDirect works with the best agricultural and food producers to bring fresh products directly to its customers.

With a fleet of 400 trucks and a 60,000-square-meter production and distribution center in New York, FreshDirect serves New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
