Jamba, Inc. Refranchises 13 Stores in California

Jamba's Progress Continues on Refranchising Initiative

EMERYVILLE, Calif. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jamba, Inc. (NASDAQ: JMBA) today announced the sale of 13 restaurants in Santa Cruz, Temecula, and Chico/Redding, California. All 13 restaurants were purchased by franchise operators with current or previous Jamba Juice operating experience.

"Our existing franchise operators are behind much of the refranchising activity and their desire to expand ownership in Jamba Juice is a testament to their success with the Jamba brand," said Thibault de Chatellus, Senior Vice President, Global Franchise and Development, Jamba Juice Company.

Jamba Juice franchisees account for more than half of the refranchising purchases, which reflects on the strong business proposition and opportunity for successful growth offered through the ownership of a Jamba Juice outlet.

"I am pleased at the engagement of our franchise operators and their continuing desire to expand with us," stated James D. White, Chairman, President, and CEO, Jamba Juice Company. "We have completed the sale of 94 stores against our goal to refranchise up to 150 stores by the close of 2010."

The Company is committed to strategically growing the Jamba brand and refranchising is one component of a broader plan for achieving that goal.
