  • hello from Belgium , I don't know about KKD , but I never understood why SBUX didn't buy JMBA , this looks to me as a perfect synergy , on the other hand I found out through the years that what seems obvious never takes place and the more buzz about " might , should ,genererally , probably etc , never happens:-) have a nice day ; PS : I'm long Jmba

  • JMBA needed to prove that this business could scale and be profitable. With the franchising model and some other changes, JMBA has now proven this out as 2012 will be a positive earnings year. This, PLUS the big new revenue stream with JambaGo! Any company looking to access the next generation of buyers in K-12, will find JambaGo is the perfect access point to that market. I thnk the stock will rise to $5, before JMBA management considers selling.

  • (JMBA) is still too expensive. Not a buyout candidate. (GMCR) or even (JVA) would be a better buy.

    If (DNKN) buys (KKD), they would have a near monopoly on the donut and coffee business.
