July 28, 2010

Jamba Inc. has completed the sale of 25 restaurants in Washington to existing franchisee Prudence Swann, principal of PB Swann LLC. The agreement includes a commitment to further expand the Jamba Juice brand by developing two additional stores in the Seattle market.

"The completion of the sale of 81 restaurants is a huge accomplishment for our company. Our team has been working hard on this initiative and it’s clearly paying off. We fully expect to have the refranchising initiative completed by the close of 2010," said James D. White, chairman, president and CEO of Jamba Inc.

Jamba Juice expects to add up to 50 new domestic franchise locations in 2010. This recent franchise development activity reflects the accelerated growth of the company and supplements the 287 currently operating franchise stores.
