At present,
Azerbaijan's economy is successfully developing based on a balanced ratio of
the oil and non-oil sectors. This factor, along with increasing the
international prestige of our country, also strengthens geopolitical
position of Azerbaijan as a regional leader.
President Ilham Aliyev creates excellent opportunities for the country's economy, turns Azerbaijan into an economically powerful state, strengthens its position in international relations, and expands partnerships. To support this policy and contribute to the strengthening of international relations, the Grandmart network of stores, which successfully continues its activities in the local market, has taken the first steps towards the presentation of Azerbaijani products in foreign markets as well as the transformation of the Azerbaijani brand into a global brand.
The opening of a
branch for 3,000 sq.m. in the Kazakh city of Aktau shortly will become an incentive
for retail brands to carry out activities inside and outside the country and
for the more excellent promotion of Azerbaijan. This significant event is
the success of the Grandmart supermarket chain and the entire retail sector of
Azerbaijan. Directors of the Grandmart network of stores Eshgin Ismayilli and
Turan Özbahceci, have played an invaluable role in implementing the project.
For many years, they have had a significant impact on creating and forming
networks of retail stores in Azerbaijan.
Eshgin Ismayilli- founder of the Megastore supermarket networks and
Bakumart Supply, is a pioneer of B2B and B2C projects.
Along with the innovative
technological solutions that he introduced to the retail sector, E. Ismayilli,
who has adhered to the principle of excellent service in the national retail
market for many years, has contributed to the retail industry by customer
satisfaction and system management.
Turan Ozbahceci, a Turkish businessman, sold 21 out of 51 stores in the
Trakya region to the most influential retail group in England, Tesco-Kipa, in
2012, became the founding partner and CEO of the Araz supermarket chain in
2011, and in 2015 opened the largest store in the Caucasus for gourmets and the
Port Baku Bazar VIP store.
Two leaders of the retail market E.
Ismayilli and T. Ozbahcechi, having united in one project to develop the retail
market of Azerbaijan, have achieved great success in Grandmart, Bolmart, and
Baggal projects. Through the Bolmart, it was possible to satisfy customers' needs
and ensure a high level of the market not only in Baku but also in many regions
of Azerbaijan, thereby expanding the degree of professionalism.
Besides, the acquisition of the
Sabat, Fresco, Avromart markets by the Grandmart network, and, after their rebranding,
the representation of 32 branches under the Grandmart name in Baku based on the
principle of excellent service, has become a new breath in the retail sector.
The opening of Grandmart's new
branch in Aktau will be the first step towards recognizing our country in the
global retail market.
