Jake Steinfeld to Serve as Key Spokesperson for Jamba®’s Fresh Juice Platform

EMERYVILLE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Apr. 18, 2013 - Jamba Juice Company, a leading healthy, active lifestyle brand announced today that fitness icon, actor and entrepreneur Jake Steinfeld will serve as spokesperson for Jamba’s new and enhanced fresh juice platform. Mr. Steinfeld is known globally for his popular “Body by Jake” brand, as well as his work to promote youth fitness as the Chair of the California Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, and now as the Chairman of the National Foundation for Governors Fitness Councils.

The company also announced the expansion of its Healthy Living Council with the launch of the Jamba Healthy Living Fitness Council, for which Mr. Steinfeld will serve as a spokesperson. Created in 2012, the Healthy Living Council is comprised of a team of nationally known nutrition experts who provide consumers with useful, practical information to help them live healthier lifestyles. The new Fitness Council will serve a similar function for consumers seeking information on physical fitness.

Mr. Steinfeld will host promotional events and other activities in support of Jamba’s new and expanded fresh juice offerings, many of which will occur at the recently remodeled Santa Monica store. The company will continue to use that store as a learning lab for testing new concepts. Jamba plans to remodel many more of its stores in the coming months to incorporate the expanded fresh juice products.

“We are thrilled to have Jake join us in our mission to inspire and simplify healthy living,” said Jamba chairman, president and CEO James D. White. “His expertise and enthusiasm will enhance our already successful fresh juice platform and I believe he is the perfect partner to lead our newly-formed Healthy Living Fitness Council.”

Jamba’s fresh juice offerings include hand-crafted juice blends with six new, fresh, whole ingredients: kale, beets, pineapple, lemon, ginger and apples. The new fresh juice line will be introduced to up to 100 stores in 2013, with more planned in the next year.

“I have long been a fan of Jamba Juice and am a regular Jamba consumer,” said Mr. Steinfeld, “and I admire the work the company does in the community, with kids, and in promoting healthy living. The new, fresh juices are fantastic, and I am honored to partner with Jamba in their continuing efforts to provide healthier food and beverage options.” Mr. Steinfeld will also join the long list of celebrities, athletes and organizations who endorse Jamba’s Team Up For a Healthy America program, the company’s campaign to address childhood obesity.
