About Us

Since the early 1980’s there has been a significant increase in the numbers of people from Turkey and other Mediterranean countries living in England. This coupled with an increase in the numbers of tourists visiting Turkey and the Mediterranean countries
and acquiring taste for ethnic cuisine created greater demand for food from those countries.

The first TFC supermarket was established in 1980 at Dalston, under the name of
Turkish Food Centre, in response to this demand. However our product range was increased when we realised that our customers wanted to buy products from other countries in our supermarkets. Today our supermarkets sell products from Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Denmark, other Mediterranean countries and Africa.

However the service philosophy of our supermarkets remains the same, that is
providing personal service to each customer, similar to the service the small
shopkeepers used to provide, in a modern setting. Our customers are able to buy everything they need under one roof in our supermarkets. They can choose from
fruit and vegetables, meat and delicatessen counters where everything is sold as
weigh-out. We have in-store bakery in every supermarket. This enables us to provide fresh bread, pastries, Turkish sweets and savoury products.

In order to meet customer demand and offer convenient shopping to our customers
we have established ten supermarkets within the M25 area. ‘There is a TFC near
you’ in our advertisements is not just a clever marketing device.

We believe that there is scope for our company to increase the number of our supermarkets and to this end we will aim to open two new stores each year.

We are proud of our heritage and support social and cultural events within our community. ‘TFC Cultural Events Project’ in 2003 was an example of our commitment and contribution to Turkish cultural activities in London. The book fair and sponsorship
of Turkish films were part of this project.
