He opened his first store in 1990, which he called the Juice Club, but after expanding and opening up several more stores in California, Perron changed the name of the company to Jamba Juice in 1995 and to Jamba in 1996. In 1997, Jamba entered into an operating agreement with Whole Foods Market and in 1999 acquired Zuka Juice Inc. all in an effort to expand brand recognition. Zuka was a prominent smoothie company at the time and its acquisition made Jamba the nation’s best-known smoothie chain.
