19-Year-Old Store Owner in Samsun Closes Shelves to Boycotted Products

19-year-old Yahya Furkan İnan, who opened a grocery store with his family last October in Samsun, does not keep boycotted brand products on his shelves. The young owner stated that they lost customers due to this decision, but they have not changed their stance from day one.

Grocery Management at a Young Age

Stating that he is actively the youngest grocery store owner in Samsun, 19-year-old Yahya Furkan İnan stated that he opened his market last October together with his family.

The young entrepreneur, who has been running the market for about a year, emphasized that he has acted with a specific sensitivity since the day he stepped into business life.

Boycott Decision and Grievances Experienced

Stating that they definitely do not include boycotted products in their market, İnan expressed that the public shows great interest in these brands that dominate the market.

As a result of this decision, he conveyed that they and their customers occasionally experienced grievances and they lost some customers, but they did not compromise their stance.

Purpose of the Boycott and Stance

Stating that the main purpose of their boycott is not to directly inflict heavy financial damage on these brands, the young owner noted that they are reacting to the remarks of the brands that disturb people.

Stating that doing his best is to boycott these brands, İnan stated his belief that this method serves as a symbol of stance in the struggle against large establishments.

Calls for the Future

Thinking that merely boycotting and establishing aid organizations do not disturb large brands, İnan argued that the impact of the social movement must be increased.

Drawing attention to the necessity of changing the course of the struggle, the young entrepreneur made suggestions to the audience and society to take more comprehensive steps.
