Karaca Container Store Opens in Ashgabat
A new concept store of the Turkish brand Karaca — Karaca Container Store — has officially opened in Ashgabat. The store is located on G. Kuliyev Street, in the “Haýyrly Senagat” building.
The new retail format introduces an innovative approach to home shopping: no traditional showrooms or interior displays. All items are arranged on pallets and shelves, allowing customers to view the full assortment and take their purchases directly.
The store features more than 45 international brands, including complete Karaca collections — from tableware and kitchen accessories to home textiles, décor, and small appliances. This is the largest Karaca store in the CIS region and a unique space for those who value quality, practicality, and modern design.
The interior reflects a contemporary container-inspired aesthetic, with metal structures and functional layouts that emphasize the brand’s innovative spirit.
“Karaca Container Store is not just a new shop, it’s a new retail philosophy. We aim to make shopping fast, comfortable, and inspiring. Our mission is to provide quality products at affordable prices,” said representatives of Haýyrly Senagat, the official Karaca franchise owner in Turkmenistan.
