Jamba
Various locations in Monterey County jamba.com
There’s a reason why this business has over 850 franchised locations in 38 states, the first of which was founded as Jamba Juice in 1990 in San Luis Obispo as a senior project by then-Cal Poly student Kirk Perron. From classic, power and plant-based smoothies to bowls and artisan flatbreads, their five local locations stand ready to “jam.” Now known as just “Jamba,” like a crowded political ticket that ultimately thins out to one or two leading candidates, these guys over time have become the nominee.
