Jamba, an American quick-service restaurant is about to open its 1st outlet in India later this year. This expansion for the brand brings its freshly blended smoothies to a new market, stated the company. The Jamba location will be in Bandra West, Mumbai.
Jamba began its journey in 1990 to serve customers products that support a healthier lifestyle.
“As we expand into the Indian market, we’re thrilled to bring our unique offering of made-to-order smoothies, juices, and snacks to a region with such a vibrant food culture,” said Steven Yang, Senior Vice President, APAC at GoTo Foods International. “The demand for innovative and customizable flavour options is growing rapidly here, and we see incredible potential for our portfolio of brands to connect with consumers. This is more than just a business opportunity; it’s a chance to become a part of the daily routines and lifestyles of this community.”
The initial phase will see the opening of stores in major metropolitan cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. This strategic approach will allow Jamba to establish a presence in key markets and reach a wide range of consumers.
Haritha Ghattamaneni, Director at Vihaga Ventures shared, “We’re thrilled to finally bring Jamba to this dynamic market. I see a lot of potential for Jamba’s growth in India as we don’t have an authentic smoothie brand. We plan to open at least 10 locations by the end of next year. Our commitment to offering delicious, fulfilling, and convenient food and beverages aligns perfectly with the increasing health consciousness among Indian consumers and we’re excited to become a beloved part of the Indian food scene.”
