April 25, 2011

Jamba Inc. has announced a master development agreement with Max’s Group of Companies, a restaurant and franchise operator, to develop 40 Jamba Juice locations in the Philippines throughout the next 10 years. The first Jamba Juice location is scheduled to open later this year.

Max’s Group currently operates three brands in the Philippines, including Max’s Restaurant, a casual dining restaurant chain founded in 1945 with more than 100 locations and a growing presence internationally.

“The partners at Max’s Family of Companies are highly experienced restaurant and franchise chain operators with 120 restaurants in the Philippines and nine in Canada and the U.S. We could not have found a better team with whom to partner as we enter our second major international market,” said Thibault de Chatellus, senior vice president, Global Franchise and Development, Jamba Juice Company.

In addition to expanding into its second international market, Jamba Juice expects to add up to 50 to 70 new domestic traditional and non-traditional franchise locations in 2011.

Jamba currently has 436 operating franchise stores.
