As we enter new markets, we continue to experience an incredible amount of enthusiasm from these communities, and we are excited to maintain the momentum throughout 2023, as we expand our presence to new areas and invite new customers to experience the TOUS les JOURS brand,” said Sam Hong, Business Development Manager, TOUS les JOURS.
