PROJECT OVERVIEW

"In 2014, we spearheaded the strategic transformation of Alsancak Dostlar Fırını—a 30-year-old Izmir landmark synonymous with iconic local food culture. By modernizing business strategy, financial modeling, store experience, and product diversification, we institutionalized a legacy business into a high-yield, multi-location retail asset while strictly preserving its authentic heritage."
