Knowing the importance of social distancing during the pandemic, we launched our home delivery service CepteŞok (Şok in Pocket), which became very popular among consumers. With Cepte Şok, we deliver the products they need, without any ‘extra delivery fee’ and with the ‘same prices as on the shelves’. We will continue to contribute to the social and economic development of our country and to grow stronger together.”
