Discover the best local businesses by experiencing them.
Where Local Businesses Come Alive
Whether you’re exploring your own town or visiting for the first time, we help you discover places you’ll remember, return to, and recommend.
Yokl is more than a food tour.
It is a local discovery platform, powered by experiences.
Students Meet Local Business Owners And Hear Their Stories About Leadership, Resilience, And Entrepreneurship.
Learners Practice Professional Communication And Gain Confidence In A Supportive, Real-World Setting.
The Experience Connects Classroom Learning To Real Careers And The Local Businesses Shaping Students’ Communities.
Our 28-Passenger Trolley Turns Transportation Into An Engaging, Memorable Classroom On Wheels.
Yokl private tours are made for groups between 12-25 guests that want an easy way to get out, celebrate, and experience local places together. We host birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, anniversaries, family gatherings, nights out with friends, pub crawls, and more.
For corporate groups, the trolley turns a typical outing into something more relaxed and memorable. Your team can enjoy a private food tour, brewery stop, sightseeing ride, or custom local experience without the hassle of planning every detail.
Yokl helps motorcoach groups experience the Hershey-area through curated local food tours and destination programming. We partner with restaurants, shops, and local venues to create smooth experiences without adding extra work for planners.
Our tours are built for group travel, with comfortable pacing, easy boarding, and local hosts who keep the experience moving. From senior groups to custom itineraries, we help turn a stop in Central PA into something guests actually remember.
The Yokl Network
Yokl is a network of local businesses built to help more people discover, visit, and support the places that make our communities feel like home. Through Meet the Heroes, we spotlight the owners behind those businesses and give visitors a reason to shop local.
Each business profile features a Yokl-exclusive interview with the owner, sharing their story, what they offer, and what makes their business worth visiting. You’ll also find the key details you need, like location, phone number, website, and how to learn more.
For Business Owners
We don't just tell people you're great.
We bring them to you through curated trolley tours, guided experiences, specialized business profiles, and our Meet The Heroes directory.

Why shop local?
When you spend $100 at a local big box chain, about $20 is reinvested in the community. But when you spend $100 at a locally owned business, about $60 is reinvested in the community.
Shopping local:
Keeps money circulating locally, strengthening small businesses and the overall community economy.
Supports local jobs and entrepreneurs who are personally invested in their neighborhoods.
Builds authentic relationships between customers and business owners, creating trust and loyalty.
Preserves the character, culture, and uniqueness that make communities vibrant and memorable.

"I brought my business students on the Yokl field trip and it was the highlight of the semester.
The first-hand exposure they had to local business owners was invaluable; it was something the students could't get in any other way. We'll be doing this again and again.. Thanks, Yokl!"
