Jamba

Jamba operates retail food and beverage stores that serve fresh blended-to-order smoothies, fresh-squeezed juices, and other hot and cold beverages. We also offer portable food items and light meal options such as fruit bowls, oatmeal, breakfast wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads, baked goods, and snacks. Our stores serve customers looking for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or an on-the-go snack in a fast-casual setting. We operate in traditional storefronts, including locations with and without drive-thrus, as well as non-traditional sites such as airports, campuses, travel centers, stadiums, and other high-traffic venues. Our business is centered on made-to-order beverage service and convenient food options for everyday customers seeking lighter meals and snacks.
