Explanatory Notes
- Initial Fee. When you sign a development agreement, you must pay Jamba Juice a Development Fee of one-half the Initial Fee for each Store multiplied by the number of Stores you must open under the development agreement. The low range of the Initial Fees in Table A assumes that the Store is eligible for the Store Incentive Program and 2016 Development Incentive Program. The low range of the Initial Fees in Tables B and C assumes that the Store or Kiosk is eligible for the Multi-Unit Program and 2016 Development Incentive Program. If you qualify for the Veterans Incentive Program, the Initial Fee is subject to a maximum reduction of 75%.
- Background/Credit Check. If the company requires a background check as part of the application process, you must pay the cost for background and credit checks that the company has a third party conduct.
- Real Estate. If you do not already own an adequate space, you will have to lease the land and building for a Jamba Juice Store. Typical locations include areas with high visibility in high-traffic urban and suburban areas. Traditional and Non-Traditional Stores generally occupy 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. Rent is generally estimated to cost between $2,000 and $13,000 per month but can vary widely and is dependent upon factors such as size, location, demand, general economic conditions, and condition of the premises.
- Equipment. As Jamba Juice expands its menu to offer a broader array of items, the company may require you to purchase additional equipment after opening, like an oven, cold case storage, and additional juicing equipment. These purchases may increase your costs.
- Training. You must make arrangements for and pay the expenses of your Managing Owner and other persons who must complete the company’s Immersion Program and Initial Training Program, including transportation, lodging, meals, and wages. The estimates provided above for Traditional and Non-Traditional Locations contemplate the training of 3 people for approximately 3 weeks.
- Additional Funds (3 Months). These amounts are the minimum recommended levels to cover Store operating expenses, including employees’ salaries for three months. However, the company cannot guarantee that such an amount will be sufficient. Additional working capital may be required if sales are low or fixed costs are high.
