A new food tour of greater Hershey had its inaugural run Thursday. I joined the forces behind Yokl for a portion of that tour, which highlights the quality of cuisine in our area.

In March 2024, Realtor Eileen Voyles took some clients on a tour of local places she enjoys. She started to further do marketing of Hershey’s small businesses with direct mail and social media accounts like @HelloHershey.

Eileen wanted to grow those efforts into a website and app called Yokl. Eileen and her partner, Rhett Hintze, bought a trolley to offer food tours that can be booked from www.shopyokl.com.
