Getir is the leader of a new crop of apps, promising rapid grocery delivery in under 20 minutes. Launched in Istanbul in 2015, the app has spread across Europe and into the US, and spawned an entire industry of apps modeled after it.
Its platform operates similar to a convenience store, stocking a limited amount of items like bread, milk, crisps, washing up liquid and frozen meals. Once an order is placed, the items are delivered from strategically located “dark stores” dotted in and around the city, which is how Getir manages to deliver within 20 minutes.
Getir’s rise to prominence happened quickly, only expanding outside of Turkey at the start of 2021. It was the most downloaded delivery app in Europe in 2021, beating out Uber Eats and Deliveroo. It expanded to the US in late 2021.

Connect today!That quick expansion has led to Getir’s valuation skyrocketing over 2021, going from $850 million at the start of the year to $7.5 billion by June.
Getir has not publicized its revenues or profit, although leaks suggest it made $1 billion revenue in 2021. Nazim Salur, CEO of Getir, said that the company is profitable in certain markets in Turkey, but on the whole the business is not profitable and will continue to be unprofitable as it expands.
Whether its expenses are as high as some other rapid delivery apps remains to be seen, with some in New York City and London spending over 10 times what they earn on customer acquisition, advertising and employee wages, according to The Information.
To maintain its lead, Getir has acquired some smaller rivals, including Moov, Weezy and Gorillas. Gorillas was the most expensive of the lot, with Getir announcing the $1.2 billion acquisition in December 2022.
