Jamba started as a fruitful idea that took root in a small store in the beach town of San Luis Obispo.
Today, that idea hasn’t changed: We take the best nature has to offer and make wholesome nutrition
accessible to everyone by making it delicious and keeping it fun. It’s our unique blend of health and
fun that makes Jamba unlike any other brand.
