You will work together & win together by joining the Yo! sushi or Panku Street Food kiosk franchise network!
You can choose to be a single kiosk owner/operator OR you can invest in multiple kiosk locations, the choice is yours!
YO! sushi kiosks are part of the Snowfox Group. They also have other established company owned franchise opportunities available with Panku kiosks (another Snowfox Group brand) in Asda stores.
90% of the available Snowfox sushi kiosks in UK supermarkets have now been sold, and there are just 42 left.
What’s even more incredible is that many of these are available for you to buy from just £5,000 plus VAT! That can vary a little depending on current average weekly sales, but it's still an extraordinary deal.
Don’t forget that, for this very modest fee, you are buying:
- An existing business which is already up and running
- An existing customer base already established
- A prime location in the UK’s busiest supermarkets
- All staff, equipment and supply chains already in place
- Support and guidance from a true giant among sushi brands
- A substantial revenue stream which has only just begun to be tapped

The YO! brand
YO! sushi restaurants was founded in 1997, inspired by Japanese street food and the trend for “kaiten” sushi, or conveyor belt sushi, where freshly prepared sushi dishes were passed around on a belt, allowing diners to select their own dishes.
YO! is the UK's number 1 sushi brand with 52 famous high street restaurants. The first YO! sushi restaurant was established in London, making an impact on the novel way of serving food, as well as popularising Japanese cuisine.
The brand has now expanded across the globe with over 70 restaurants across 10 countries. It has a distinctive and recognisable brand identity, that combines Japanese youth culture, bright, colourful designs, and fresh tasting dishes inspired by Japanese cuisine.
The YO! sushi kiosk customers
Typically a supermarket sees an average of 4,000 customers per day so, in any given area, that is 10s of thousands of potential customers every week and in 2023, Tesco’s UK market share was 27.3%, which means over 25% of all people who regularly visit a supermarket (which is everyone!) will walk past a YO! sushi kiosk every time they go shopping. A great number stop and buy the YO! products, a number which is growing all the time.
An established brand & business...
Most new businesses, even ones backed by a proven franchise model like YO!, can take months, or even years, to build their reputation and start seeing a return on their investment. Not so with a YO! sushi kiosk franchise! You’ll be able to take on the existing customer base right from day one and enjoy an immediate revenue stream, as well as plenty of potential for growth.
With a YO! kiosk franchise, you won’t need to start up, but you’ll have plenty of opportunities to build up!
Ideal Partners
We are looking for franchisees who will either, act as single kiosk owner/operators themselves, or who would like to own and operate multiple kiosk locations; they need people with the energy and passion that comes from a direct personal investment in the brand to really shine through to our customers.
We embrace people from all walks of life and current franchisees come from a huge range of backgrounds. You certainly don’t have to have any experience in retail, or the food & beverage industry, obviously a background in the food and drink industry will be a bonus but suitable franchisees without this background can still receive the relevant training to help them develop the necessary skills. Potential franchise owners should also have a strong interest in Japanese cuisine.
Previous management and leadership experience, and the ability to demonstrate strong business acumen, and the skills required to lead and motivate a busy team are also seen as desirable attributes.
Your investment
The cost of investing in a YO! sushi kiosk in Tesco, is obviously variable depending on the current sales of that kiosk. YO! will discuss the exact cost with you when you contact them about the location you have in mind, but you can expect to pay from:
- £20,000 plus VAT for a kiosk turning over up to £3,000 per week
- £25,000 plus VAT for a kiosk turning over between £3,000 and £4,000 per week
- £30,000 plus VAT for a kiosk turning over between £4,000 and £5,000 per week
There are some kiosks achieving a turnover of more than £5,000 per week and they will be priced accordingly
AND… as an established, ongoing concern, your kiosk will not require any further costs. No investment is necessary to lease and outfit your premises, or to buy equipment. Everything is already there, just waiting for you.
