YO! Celebrates Franchise Milestone as All Early Partners Plan to Renew

yo-new1.jpeg

Since opening their first restaurant in 1997, YO! has become the UK's most recognised and loved sushi brand. Yet despite decades of success in the market, YO! only launched their franchise kiosk opportunity three years ago, bringing premium, freshly prepared sushi and Japanese food to some of the busiest and best-located Tesco supermarkets across the UK.

Fast forward to today, and YO! kiosks are part of a thriving network of more than 500 locations. Operating on an initial three-year franchise term, the earliest franchise partners are now approaching renewal. Their response speaks volumes about the strength of the proposition: of all the franchisees met for renewal discussions last month, 100% expressed their intention to renew for a further three years.

This commitment reflects not only the commercial success of the model but also the positive experience of partnering with an established brand that provides proven systems, operational support and access to exceptional retail locations.

Further underlining this momentum, YO! has recently celebrated its best-ever sales week, demonstrating the continued strength of customer demand for high-quality sushi.

If you'd like to discover more about working with YO! and begin your own franchise journey, get in touch today.
