Turkey-based Getir, which has shown significant increases in the fast delivery sector and has received significant investments in recent years, has started to serve abroad in recent years. In this context, it was claimed that Getir, which opened a branch in France, decided to leave the country today.
Getir is leaving France?
According to Techcrunch’s report, Getir sent a newsletter to AFP (Agence France-Presse), one of the biggest news agencies in France. With this bulletin, the company announced that they decided to leave because legal restrictions imposed in France hindered the growth of the company.
However, according to the information in the bulletin, Getir also filed for bankruptcy in France. It is not known at the moment what will happen to the assets of the delivery giant in the country. There is a possibility that another company will take over.
Get it bought n11!
Getir announced that it has bought all the shares of n11.com. A brand new n11.com is reportedly on the way with this purchase.
On the other hand, it is not yet known what will happen to Getir’s 1,800 employees in France. Speaking to AFP, CFDT union representative Johann Tchissambou said that salaries should be paid by September to prevent workers from being victimized.
Why is Getir leaving France?
The French government has taken a decision for fast delivery companies such as Getir in the past months. According to this decision, shadow stores without customers would be counted as warehouses, not as stores. The decision of whether there will be a warehouse in the city center belongs to the city administration.
For this reason, a restriction was applied. On the other hand, Getir’s rivals, Flink and Gopuff, have also decided to leave France in the past months.
Let’s say that all the information in the news is a claim for now. An official statement by Getir has not yet come. Information was shared with only one news agency. So what do you guys think about this issue? You can share your views with us in the Comments section below.
