While Jamba believes its customers continue to love the Jamba brand for its healthful and great tasting smoothies and fun store experience, the economy is forcing customers to pare back on their discretionary spending, which has impacted comparable sales. The Company is responding with an aggressive value promotion that focuses on the clear points of difference that Jamba offers customers versus many new competitive Quick Service Restaurant smoothies, namely 210 calories, made with real whole fruit, 100% pure fruit and fruit juices, no high-fructose corn syrup, no sugar added – all without sacrificing great taste. This promotion targets both new and existing customers with a $2.95 All Fruit Smoothie called the “Orange Refresher”, available for a limited time only.
Jamba is also responding to the QSR competition with aggressive product innovation. An emphasis on innovating nutritionally balanced meal replacements such as the new breakfast offerings made with real whole fruit, yogurt, soy milk, and organic granola have yielded solid results by driving positive breakfast daypart comparable store sales since their launch in February.
Jamba is continuing to explore opportunities to reduce costs and prudently manage its balance sheet, with the goal of being properly positioned for healthy growth when the economy improves. On July 15, Jamba closed 8 stores as part of the Company’s previously announced store reduction plan. For the remainder of 2008, Jamba plans to open 4 more stores, all of which are currently under construction.
