Over 20,000 Points of Retail Distribution and All Products Commercialized

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 11, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jamba Juice (NASDAQ:JMBA) provided an update regarding key accomplishments against its CPG initiative. With the official launch of the Jamba-O.N.E. coconut water fruit juices, which will begin distribution on May 24, 2011, the Company has successfully commercialized all nine of their licensed product lines. Collectively Jamba has, through its licensees efforts, achieved over 20,000 points of retail distribution and has placed over 30 individual products on shelves in retail outlets across all 50 states.

"Jamba continues to seek opportunities to extend the Jamba brand and maximize revenue by leveraging the brand in new and complementary consumer packaged product categories and further commercializing existing products at retail outlets. We will continue to deliver on-trend, forward-looking healthy, active lifestyle products that support consumer needs and desires," said Julie Washington, Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Products, Jamba Juice Company. "All of our products have been commercialized which we believe is a tremendous accomplishment in a short period of time. We expect to introduce additional new product lines and achieve even greater retail presence of Jamba-branded items throughout the coming months."

In addition to leveraging a powerful brand that generates instant awareness and broad acceptance among consumers and retailers alike, product introductions have been afforded significant marketing and PR support including merchandising at over 600 Jamba retail stores, social media, website, and email buzz reaching almost 1-million Jamba Facebook fans and over 400,000 Jamba database members, and full access to Jamba distribution partnerships and relationships. Jamba expects CPG growth will continue to accelerate as they introduce additional product lines via new partners, expand category offerings and new lines with existing partners, gain entry into new channels and achieve expanded distribution with retailers across the nation. Jamba-branded lifestyle products are now available collectively at retailers across all 50 states.
