With international growth plans sputtering, rapid grocery delivery company Getir is exiting the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, and The Netherlands to focus on its core market in Turkey.

With FreshDirect's wide product portfolio and broad customer base, Getir will accelerate the growth of its fast delivery business in the US.

Ahold Delhaize USA announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its FreshDirect business to Getir, a pioneer in ultrafast grocery delivery operating in key markets in the U.S. and globally.

Leveraging the company’s 20-year history of pioneering online grocery delivery of fresh, expertly sourced, high-quality food, FreshDirect’s expert team of food, wine and spirit specialists curated the annual list which forecasts up-and-coming products, ingredients, and influences.

FreshDirect says it is pulling out of the Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia markets to focus on its core New York metro business, effective Sept. 3.

Since its founding in 2002, the Bronx-based online grocer has remained a signature household staple for two decades and has established true connections with its loyal customers.

The rapid increase in demand for online grocery and the boom in home cooking are squarely aligned with what our team of food experts have been seeing firsthand, both early last year and later accelerated by the pandemic,” said Scott Crawford, Chief Merchandising Officer, FreshDirect.

After the deal closes, FreshDirect will retain its brand name, report to a seven-person board, and continue to independently operate out of its facility in New York City.
