Best Buy, the largest US consumer electronics retailer, will enter the Turkish market in October.

As part of the company’s expansion plans, Best Buy will open its first store in the western province of İzmir. The US company plans to open two more stores by the end of the first quarter of 2010, one in the capital city of Ankara and the other in another western province, Bursa. TeknoSA, Turkey’s largest consumer electronics retailer, has over 220 stores spread throughout 67 cities in Turkey and employs over 3,000 people. Best Buy, in comparison, operates over 4,000 stores in 13 countries including the United States, Canada, China and several European countries. The company employs 155,000 people and made $45 billion in sales last year.
