Is JAMBA a good franchise to buy?

JAMBA shows several positive indicators: established brand with 511+ locations, transparent financial performance data (Item 19), low SBA loan default rate. However, franchise success depends on many factors including location, local market conditions, and owner involvement. We recommend speaking with existing franchisees and consulting with a franchise attorney before making a decision.

JAMBA

Jamba franchises operate branded stores offering a wide variety of fresh, blended-to-order smoothies, other cold or hot beverages, fresh squeezed juices, and portable food items for snacks and meals. Store types include Traditional Stores (with or without drive-thru), Non-Traditional Stores, and Auntie Anne’s Co-Branded Stores. The business model is franchising these quick-service locations to target health-conscious consumers seeking nutritious, on-the-go beverages and snacks.

Bottom Quartile Revenue

Data Based On: 511 Traditional Franchises that reported sales in all 53 weeks of Fiscal Year 2023, representing 96.2% of total Traditional Franchises.

* The average_gross_revenue was calculated as a weighted average of the average net sales for each quartile using the number of stores in each quartile. (128 units × $1,045,773 + 128 units × $729,514 + 127 units × $576,206 + 128 units × $403,886) / 511 total units = $689,065.18, rounded to $689,065. Median gross revenue, revenue top quartile, and revenue bottom quartile were extracted directly from the 'All Traditional Stores' table. Net income, net profit, EBITDA, and profit range estimates are not provided as the document explicitly states that sales figures do not reflect costs/expenses to obtain profit.
