We are always keen to work with like-minded brands, so being the only restaurant involved in the launch of Facebook Places in the UK is a real endorsement of the YO! Sushi brand.
“Our customers are the most technologically savvy in our sector so this deal will really turn them on. Plus, the opportunity to potentially reach over 26 million active Facebook users in the UK is unbelievably exciting.”
