Who does LEMARS sell to?

LEMARS works only with licence-holding businesses (B2B): restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés, grocery stores, licensed retailers (tekel) and licensed sub-dealers. It does not sell directly to end consumers.

Under which certificate does LEMARS operate?

LEMARS Gıda İçecek operates under a wholesale alcoholic beverage sales certificate issued by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Deliveries are made only to businesses holding a valid sales certificate.

What services does LEMARS offer?

Wholesale supply to licence-holding businesses, distribution with its own vehicle fleet, and distributorship operations. With 20+ years of industry experience it delivers end-to-end supply and delivery solutions.

How can a business work with LEMARS?

You can reach us by phone (+90 212 809 18 83), e-mail or the contact form on this website. No orders are taken and no price information is provided through this site; a supply relationship is established only with businesses holding a valid sales certificate, through our physical place of business.

How fast is delivery?

We deliver Monday to Saturday from our central depot in Avcılar across the European side; orders are delivered the day after they are placed. Thanks to our own distribution network, your business avoids supply interruptions.

Do you supply tekel (licensed liquor) markets and beverage retailers on a wholesale basis?

Yes. LEMARS acts as a wholesale beverage supplier to licence-holding grocery stores, licensed retailers (tekel) and beverage points of sale across the European side of Istanbul, with regular deliveries. Reach out through our corporate contact channels to start a new supply relationship.

Can I place a bulk order for an event or corporate function?

Yes. We supply your licence-holding business with wholesale beverages for corporate events, weddings and similar organisations. This service is offered only to businesses holding a valid sales certificate; no sales are made to individual consumers. Deliveries are made Monday to Saturday, the day after the order is placed.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Order quantities vary depending on your business's needs and the product line. Reach out through our corporate contact channels and we can work out a suitable supply plan for your business together.

What certificate does my business need to buy from LEMARS?

A supply relationship is established only with businesses holding a valid alcoholic beverage sales certificate. Certificates are verified before any supply relationship begins; we do not deliver to businesses without one, or to individual consumers.

Which districts do you deliver to?

We deliver across the entire European side of Istanbul: Arnavutköy, Avcılar, Bağcılar, Bahçelievler, Bakırköy, Başakşehir, Bayrampaşa, Beşiktaş, Beylikdüzü, Beyoğlu, Büyükçekmece, Çatalca, Esenler, Esenyurt, Eyüpsultan, Fatih, Gaziosmanpaşa, Güngören, Kâğıthane, Küçükçekmece, Sarıyer, Silivri, Sultangazi, Şişli and Zeytinburnu.

Which product categories do you supply?

Our field of activity covers beer, wine, rakı, whisky, vodka, gin, tequila and liqueur categories, with more than 400 product lines in our portfolio. This describes our field of activity only; it is not product promotion and contains no price information.

We are a producer outside Türkiye. How can our brand enter the Turkish market?

Talk to us through our corporate contact channels. LEMARS is an in-market distributor, not an importer: the product needs to have been brought into Türkiye by an importer first. From that point on we cover the Turkish side of the journey — placing the brand into licence-holding outlets across the European side of Istanbul and delivering to them from our own depot and fleet. Commercial structure is agreed case by case with each partner.

Do you represent international producers?

Yes. We currently act as the distributor on the European side of Istanbul for producers based in Austria, Ukraine and Moldova, alongside domestic producers. Our distribution portfolio is published as corporate information on the Distributorships page.

Which sales channels can a brand reach through LEMARS?

Two main channels: on-trade (restaurants, hotels, bars and cafés) and off-trade (licensed retailers known as tekel, grocery stores and other licence-holding outlets). Combined reach is more than 1,800 licence-holding points of sale across the European side of Istanbul.

What does the Turkish licensing regime require?

Wholesale distribution of alcoholic beverages in Türkiye requires a certificate issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry; LEMARS holds a wholesale alcoholic beverage sales certificate. Deliveries may only be made to businesses that themselves hold a valid sales certificate, and advertising or consumer promotion of alcoholic beverages is restricted by law — which is why this website carries corporate information only.
