The companys first store was opened inside the Prestige Shopping Mall in İstanbul, Başakşehir.[3] The company has their own subsidiaries as well, such as Harras which is the producer of baked goods sold in File stores and Actisoft which is the producer of household cleaning products.
In 2021, the company developed an grocery delivery app called "File Market".[4]
