Originally launched as Juice Club in San Luis Obispo in 1990, Jamba at Grossmont Center in La Mesa carries the 800-plus-unit chain's full smoothie, bowl, and fresh-juice menu inside the Grossmont shopping complex. Blended-to-order smoothies and protein bowls use fruit and vegetable bases without artificial preservatives, a counter-service health-food format that complements the preservative-free confectionery program at See's Candies elsewhere in the center. The chain rebranded from Jamba Juice in 2019 to reflect an expanded menu that now includes acai bowls, toasty bites, and plant-based smoothie options alongside the original fruit blends. This Grossmont Center location sits within the retail anchor that draws over 12,100 monthly searches, sharing foot traffic with the dining and entertainment tenants that surround Grossmont Center's open-air layout. The chain's proprietary Master of Blending Arts training program certifies each team member in nutrition science and ingredient interaction before they operate the high-speed blending stations.
