Jamba Inc. has announced the sale of 13 restaurants in Santa Cruz, Temecula, and Chico/Redding, Calif., all of which 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. So far, the company has completed the sale of 94 stores against its goal to refranchise up to 150 stores by the close of 2010.
