Typically modern, open-plan office spaces designed to foster collaboration and rapid iteration, common for tech startups. Amenities often focused on a dynamic work environment suitable for a fast-growing company.

Work Culture:

Historically characterized by a very fast-paced, high-energy, and ambitious startup culture. It was data-driven, with a strong emphasis on speed, disruption, and scaling operations quickly. The environment was often described as intense, reflecting its 'hyper-growth' phase.

HQ Significance:

The birthplace of the Gorillas concept and a key command center during the q-commerce boom in Europe. It symbolized rapid growth, significant venture capital investment in the sector, and the potential of on-demand delivery services prior to market consolidation and its acquisition.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters and company culture historically reflected values such as speed ('Groceries in minutes'), customer focus, ambition to disrupt traditional retail, and a strong emphasis on operational efficiency and technological innovation.

Location:

Before its acquisition by Getir and subsequent market consolidation, Gorillas rapidly expanded its on-demand grocery delivery service across several European countries. Key markets included Germany, the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and Belgium. Gorillas also had a brief operational presence in the United States (New York City). Post-acquisition, these operations were integrated with Getir, which later announced withdrawals from many of these international markets in 2023-2024 as part of a broader restructuring.
