Jamba Juice is an American juice bar chain and restaurant. They sell blended fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, and other food products.

The first Jamba Juice location was named Juice Club. It was opened in 1990 in San Luis Obispo, California, at the California Polytechnic State University.

Kirk Perron opened Jamba Juice. He worked as a supermarket manager and was an avid cyclist who was also an advocate for a healthy lifestyle. He opened the restaurant because he was not satisfied with the quality of post workout snacks which were then available.

Jamba Juice was incorporated as Juice Club, Inc. and started franchising. The chain was renamed Jamba Juice in 1995. They acquired Zuka Juice in 1999. Jamba Juice was purchased in 2006 by Services Acquisition Corp. International.

The Jamba Juice locations in Salt Lake City are at 613 East 400 South Unit C, 3294 South 1300 East Unit B (Brickyard), 3920 West Terminal Drive (Salt Lake City International Airport), and 5590 South Van Winkle Expressway.
