Jamba, Inc. is a 17 year old company recently added to the NASD. As of June '07, the company has about 600 stores nationwide, 400 of which are in CA. Q1 of '07 marked the first time that the company opened more stores outside of CA than from within.
I think Jamba, Inc. is a GREAT long term play because it has tons of growth potential, inside and outside CA. It is currently experimenting with kiosks in Safeway and other retails. Right now this company is seriously in its growth phase. What about product and service? Just visit a local Jamba Juice near you and see that it offers great tasting smoothies (its primary product) and healthy snacks for the health-conscious and those looking to cool down in the summer with something that is sweet, and experience the friendly service for yourself. JMBA is growing fast. You don't want to miss out on this. Could this be another potential Starbucks?
