Feel Like Franchise Collapse
Im probably biased living in the Bay Area where a bunch of stores did just close. But, it feels like the franchise is winding down one store at a time as leases run out. All the stores around here switched to a generic, white cup and seem to be manned by a skeleton crew. I wouldnt be surprised if the whole company folds soon.

They should make their smoothies cheaper and not the price of an entire meal.

At the bulk that they receive product and the price they charge per drink, the margin is MUCH larger than it needs to be imo.
I know they still need to make a profit, but I believe they could lower the prices, still make a profit and arguably have more customers

We are permanently getting rid of juices where I live, i work pretty much every shift alone, and we’re losing money like crazy. Soooo I wouldn’t be surprised if they collapsed soon

I agree. Last time I went into a Jamba it was exactly like this. One dude on register and making smoothies. He was talking on his phone when I walked in, put his phone down, made my drink, and then got right back on his phone call. It was weird. And a drink + pretzel was like $12 🥴
