Jamba Juice and Dole Join Forces to Launch Jambafruit.com

Partnership Underscores the Simplicity of Healthy Living

EMERYVILLE, Calif.(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jamba Juice, the leading blender of fruit and other naturally healthy ingredients, has partnered with the Dole Food Company, the world's largest producer and marketer of high-quality fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and a growing line of packaged and frozen fruit, to launch Jambafruit.com, an online portal where consumers come to together to "blend", submit, and share smoothie recipes. Coinciding with the Web site roll-out, Dole has produced tens of millions of customized stickers on bunches of fresh bananas that read, "I Want to Jamba!", at thousands of grocery stores nationwide now through May 10.

"Together, Dole and Jamba is the ideal match to encourage Americans to make consuming fresh fruit an easy priority," said Paul Coletta, senior vice president, marketing and brand development at Jamba. "We are thrilled to be working alongside a like-minded brand as we want consumers to feel good about what they put into their bodies. Jambafruit.com is all about coming together to share fresh ideas, great taste, and nutritional value in a convenient and playful one-stop location."

"We are excited to be partnering with Jamba Juice to communicate to consumers the health benefits of including more fruit in their diets," said Marty Ordman, Vice President, Marketing & Communications at Dole. "The company is committed to providing the American public with definitive, easily accessible information on nutrition and health and this is one more way to further that goal."
