"When you add the infamous honesty and dry wit of the average
Dane to their attention to detail in all that they do (especially
with regards to food preparation), we believe we have the perfect
fundamentals for a thriving Yelp community," said Miriam Warren, Vice President of European
Marketing, Yelp. "Whether it's to find the best place to try the
now internationally famous Smorrebrod, or to share their excitement
of a day at the Tivoli Gardens, we look forward seeing the Yelp
community grow and develop across Denmark as the go-to source to find great
local businesses."
The site supports Danish, Swedish, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, English, and Spanish, providing users access to local
insights in any one of these languages. Denmark is the twelfth country to have a
dedicated Yelp community in Europe
as the company continues to deliver on its international growth
strategy.
While available throughout Denmark, Yelp will focus its initial community
building efforts in Copenhagen --
a city-by-city approach that the company has used to launch in
markets throughout the world.
