White, chairman, president and CEO, Jamba Juice Company. “Thailand is one of the most dynamic retail food and drink markets in the Asia-Pacific region with high spending on food and beverages and an increasing demand for high quality fruit drinks. We will leverage the success of Jamba Juice in Korea, Philippines, and Taiwan, and are confident that Thai consumers who have a strong affinity for leading western brands will embrace Jamba’s great tasting and nutritious food and beverages.”

This agreement represents the latest step in Jamba's international franchise store growth.
