An exciting new YO! kiosk has opened in Hatfield's Tesco store, the sushi chain's 300th in-store site in the UK.

The kiosk in the Great North Road supermarket opened today, creating seven new jobs for sushi chefs.

It also represents a landmark for YO! and Tesco, as the site is the 300th to open as part of their ever-growing partnership which started back in 2018.
