Company’s Founding State Remains a Key Geography for Store Expansion

EMERYVILLE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Nov. 20, 2012 - Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ: JMBA) today announced their intent to expand throughout their home state of California with a growth plan that includes the opening of up to 120 new Jamba Juice® stores in select territories across Northern, Central and Southern California over the next six-to-seven years. Capitalizing on their exceptional brand awareness among consumers in the premier market for healthy lifestyle and their ability to leverage existing economies of scale, Jamba® plans to open multiple new Company-owned locations as well as create the opportunity for multi-store development agreements with existing and new franchisees.

White, Chairman, President, and CEO, Jamba Juice Company. “We expect California expansion will take place in the form of strategic company store growth, expansion opportunities with current franchise partners, and more opportunity for new owners to join the Jamba family.”
