- Çitlekçi Mağazacılık Gıda A.Ş. is a Turkey-based food manufacturing and specialized retail company engaged in the sourcing, processing, roasting, packaging, and omnichannel distribution of dried nuts, fruits, confectionery, and packaged consumer foods. Tracing its roots to 1979 and established as a dedicated retail brand in 1995, the company operates as a core retail subsidiary of Tunçlar Yatırım Holding and is headquartered in Ankara, Turkey. Çitlekçi operates advanced processing and roasting facilities, including a large-scale integrated sunflower seed processing plant in Kırıkkale, and distributes its products through a proprietary chain of company-operated concept stores across Turkey as well as through direct-to-consumer e-commerce and mobile retail platforms. The company offers a comprehensive range of food products categorized into: nuts and seeds, including roasted and raw sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, Antep pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, peanuts, and roasted chickpeas; dried fruits, including apricots, figs, raisins, dates, prunes, and dehydrated fruit chips; confectionery and traditional sweets, including assorted Turkish delights, chocolate-covered nuts, confectionery dragees, specialty chocolates, candies, and traditional halva; beverages, including roasted Turkish coffee, filter coffees, and herbal tea blends; and grocery staples, including culinary spices, pulses, legumes, and packaged grains. In recent major developments, Çitlekçi completed its initial public offering on Borsa İstanbul under the ticker symbol CITAS in August 2026, raising capital to accelerate domestic retail store openings, modernize production facilities, and bolster working capital. In September 2026, the company’s board of directors authorized a share buyback program with an allocated budget of up to one billion Turkish lira to repurchase up to ten million Class B shares over a one-year period. The company continues to advance its nationwide expansion program aiming to establish direct retail presence across all 81 provinces in Turkey while expanding its digital omnichannel and export sales channels.
