Our family’s trade adventure, which started in Gaziantep in the first years of the Republic (1927), has been diversifying for nearly a century. With YAPRAKLAR TRADE, founded by Sadettin Yaprak, our family started trading with the supply of salt and flour to the region as commodity trade. In the following years, in addition, it opened a texting and housewares store in the region with the NEW YAPRAKLAR brand.

In addition, in line with the demands of the region, many agricultural and pesticides such as Hektaş, Toros Tarım have diversified their supply products to the region by taking the regional distributorship. Our store served as the largest department store in the region for more than 40 years until 1992. After 1974, the family expanded to Istanbul and Cyprus regions.
