    Yousta stores will boast several tech touch points, including QR-enabled screens for information sharing, self-checkout counters, complimentary Wi-Fi and charging stations.

    Yousta has partnered with a non-profit for customers to donate old clothes at stores and allow them to be used for community programs. The stores will also feature locally sourced and manufactured products. This not only allows Yousta to offer unique items but also helps it contribute to the growth of local economies and reduce its ecological footprint.
