Jamba: Leading the Way in Nutritious and Delicious Offerings

Jamba, initially launched as "Juice Club," was established in 1990 by Kirk Perron in the charming coastal town of San Luis Obispo, California. Known for promoting healthy living through tasty and nutritious offerings, Jamba has been a pioneer in encouraging better eating habits with simple yet delicious solutions. The menu features an extensive range of made-to-order smoothies, juices, and bowls, all prepared with fresh fruits and vegetables, providing a quick and healthy option for busy individuals.

The franchise experienced significant growth in 1999 with the acquisition of 96 Zuka Juice locations, expanding its presence and visibility across the United States. Jamba's dedication to wellness and quality has cemented its position as an industry leader, with a unique brand identity that highlights health, flavor, and convenience.

Jamba distinguishes itself in the competitive quick-service restaurant market by blending taste with nutritional value, offering customers delicious and health-conscious choices. The brand also presents franchise opportunities for entrepreneurs eager to join the Jamba family, enabling them to open their own outlets and promote the brand's distinctive approach to healthy living.

Training 

Jamba provides a comprehensive training program for its franchisees and their staff to ensure they are fully equipped to run their stores successfully. Here’s an overview of the training process:

Initial Training:

Before the grand opening, franchisees must ensure their trainees complete the Management Training Program. This crucial program is designed for individuals involved in the daily operations of the franchise. The Management Training Program can be completed online or in person at Jamba’s corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, at a certified training store, or other approved locations. Trainees are eligible to attend the program once the Jamba store is under construction, and the franchisee has submitted a fully signed and approved lease and proof of the required insurance.

Territory Protection

Franchisees do not receive an exclusive territory and may encounter competition from other franchisees, Jamba-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands controlled by Jamba.

For those operating a Traditional Store, although exclusive territory is not granted, franchisees will receive a territory with limited protection (an "Area of Protection").

This means that during the term of the Franchise Agreement, Jamba will not establish or operate, nor will it license anyone else to establish or operate, a store under the Proprietary Marks and the System within the Area of Protection, except in Non-Traditional Locations, Delivery Kitchens, and as specified in the Franchise Agreement.
