Jamba

How much does it cost to open a Jamba franchise?

The estimated initial investment for a traditional Jamba store without a drive-thru is $480,850 to $941,300, according to the 2026 FDD. The exact investment depends on factors such as the location, construction requirements and equipment.

The initial franchise fee is $35,500. Jamba also requires franchise candidates to demonstrate at least $120,000 in liquid capital and $300,000 in net worth.

Jamba also offers other formats, including drive-thru, kiosk and non-traditional locations. Their investment requirements can differ from the traditional-store range above.

Jamba currently charges a 6% royalty fee based on net sales. The brand also charges a 3% marketing fee on net sales under its current franchise terms.

These fees are separate from the franchisee’s normal operating expenses, such as labor, rent, insurance, utilities and supplies.

The exact fee structure and any additional charges should be confirmed in the FDD applicable when the franchise agreement is signed.

Jamba’s 2026 FDD reports average net sales of $674,678 for 486 traditional franchised stores that operated throughout fiscal year 2025. The median was $624,754, while individual stores ranged from $122,103 to $2,280,123.

These figures represent net sales, not profit. They also apply specifically to the qualifying traditional-store group and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed result for a new franchisee.

Jamba itself explicitly notes that some outlets achieved this level of sales but that individual franchisee results may diffe

Jamba offers support with site selection, construction and design, helping franchisees identify and develop an appropriate location. The brand also provides operational and marketing support.

Franchisees and their managers receive management training. For the first two stores operated by a franchisee or its affiliates, Jamba provides the Management Training Program for two managers and other designated trainees at no additional charge.

The initial franchise fee also includes the cost of representatives providing on-site opening training and assistance at the store.

Jamba says it is looking for franchisees with business experience and entrepreneurial drive, including candidates interested in single-unit ownership or area development.

The company also emphasizes experience in business or operations and an interest in building a customer-focused business. Franchisees can benefit from Jamba’s established brand, digital ordering, loyalty program, delivery and catering channels.

Jamba currently offers several formats, allowing franchisees to choose between traditional stores, drive-thrus, kiosks and other non-traditional locations depending on the market.
