Ozgur Tort “The people of Izmir who love to live, also loved 5M”
Migros Ticaret A.S. General Manager Ozgur Tort said “Last year, we joined the people of Izmir for the first time with the privileged world of 5M with our Balcova 5M store. The people of Izmir that have found a place both to shop as a family and to socialize in 5M, loved this shopping experience. As the Migros Group, creating special living areas for the customers inside the store, providing a different perspective for shopping, we are continuing to provide the people of Izmir with our innovative applications, where we have transformed the time spent at the store into a more entertaining and pleasant time, at different locations.” Stating that they have started their route by recognizing that each individual entering into the stores have different positions at home and work, hobbies, social circles and responsibilities, Mr. Tort stated “By acting from the reality that each individual has differing expectations, we created living areas inside 5M stores. These living areas transforming shopping into joy and entertainment, have been widely acclaimed by the people of Izmir who love life”.

The people of Izmir loved 5M; and it was up to us to open the second 5M in Izmir
Stating that the success of Migros Group lies in reaching the correct customer group at the correct place and with the correct format, Ozgur Tort said “We were sure that 5M would make a significant difference for the people of Izmir, they enjoyed this difference, liked 5M; and it was up to us to open the second store here.”

“The children visitors of 5M is twice of the other supermarkets”
By stating their observation that the people of Izmir coming to 5M store with their families were meeting their home requirements while meeting their social requirements as well, Ozgur Tort told: “We observed at the results of the researches examining the customer profile distributions that the children visitors of 5M is twice that of the other supermarkets. Just like their parents, the children are also happy to be in 5M. This in turn evidences that 5M is recognized as a social environment where the families shop together with their children and also spend enjoyable time. We have again clearly seen this at our Balcova store. At these free living areas we have created, the people of Izmir do not consider themselves only as individuals that have gone shopping and have to go home soon; on the contrary, they enjoy shopping, entertainment and sharing as a family. While the father is reading his newspaper at 5M pleasure hall, the child is paying on the Playstation. At that time the mother is experiencing the joy of filling her shopping cart with the fresh tastes from the branches of Aegean. Shopping at 5M has become a social activity where all the family individuals can spend time together.”

“We will bring our hyper service to more people of Izmir at different spots in Izmir”

Ozgur Tort said, “Seeing that the living areas we have provided with 5M becoming successful at a city like Izmir where the Migros Group is bound with strong ties, we became determined to provide the same service to more people of Izmir at different spots”. Indicating that they want to introduce each individual to the high quality, cheap and fun world of 5M, Mr. Tort stated “By opening Balcova 5M last year in February, we have introduced 5M to the people of Izmir for the first time. Within this short time interval, 5M has literally become a meeting point. Now, we are planning to create the same effect in Gaziemir. We will continue to provide the cheap, entertaining and hyper world of 5M at the most significant locations of Izmir.”
