The owner of Jamba Juice, which makes specialty beverage and food items including fruit smoothies, will move its headquarters from Emeryville to a Dallas suburb over the next six months, the company announced.
Jamba Inc. chief executive David Pace said in a press release and a regulatory filing that the high cost of doing business in the Bay Area is a large reason why the company is moving to Frisco, Texas.

Yes, they repainted the water tower so it doesn't say "Coons" any more. The school district built a covered stadium for the Dallas Cowboys and their billionaire owner. (They get to use it for a few high school games and graduation).
JWP is currently under indictment, prompted by an FBI investigation and raid. He’s been extremely quiet of late.
Also, Frisco is in Collin County, not Dallas County, so they need not have anything to do with him.
mckinney doesn’t seem to go after business aggressively. people here are still ticked we lost out on the Allen shopping mess at Stacey and 75. mckinney is just now getting an Aldi’s and Costco. The never ending argument in mck is where to build the parking garage in the square. sigh....
You missed a lot. Frisco is a Dallas suburb now, the Dallas North Tollway runs through it. After the next wave of development, McKinney will replace Anna (yes, Anna) as the furthest north suburb. Allen lost that position years ago. Denton is still too far away for the next decade or so, Terrell may achieve the status of Dallas suburb in about 20 more years.
McKinney is building a $60 million 12,000 seat high school football stadium. Must keep up with their rival Allen.
Trader Vic’s in Emeryville was a mandatory stop when I was doing business in California. It’s gone now...
I’m a boomer. Graduated from TJ. I remember when everything North of Forest Lane in Dallas was pretty much cotton fields and cattle.
Please feel free to set up shop in Texas but don’t you dare bring any of those San Fran values!!!!
That chit don’t fly here (well maybe a little in Austin)
Hope Mexicans LIKE JAMBA JUICE
The best spectator sport in town these days is watching the Preston Center fight. Laura Miller and the Staubachs on one side vs. the other developers and Mark Cuban on the other. New Urbanists against New Urbanists who say ‘not in my back yard’.
I have family in Garland.
Every time I go there I just feel icky. I just do not like the place.
Lots of trash, per capita.
Almost half of Frisco is in Denton County.
They’re gonna move there and elect Wendy Davis, as she’s the closet thing they can find to Nancy Pelosi.
I wish the Californians would stay in California. Texas will not stay red much longer with all the invaders moving here. Harris Country (Houston) used to be a solid Red and is now blue.
Frisco is a suburb of Dallas - solid development all the way up the Tollway from Dallas to the $5 billion dollar mile in Frisco. In fact, development is hot north of 380 in Prosper.
I wouldn’t call Denton a suburb, but it does have a commuter train to Carrollton where folks can switch to the light rail system into Dallas. (One more change of train will get you to Fort Worth). McKinney has been held back because Central expressway has been torn up between Dallas and McKinney at some point or another continuously since the 1980s and McKinney didn’t want to be on the rail system. It’s easier to get down the Rayburn toll road to DFW airport than it is to get to downtown Dallas. Perhaps McKinney should be called a suburb of Plano and Frisco.
Terrell probably isn’t a suburb of Dallas yet, although Rockwall certainly is.
Wait, folks. Jamba Juice CORPORATE is moving to Texas. The STORES will, for the most part, stay where they are.
And Calif liberals will double down as the jobs flee.
Texas may be Galt.
Sherwin Williams Paint Co moved out of Emeryville into Fernley, N Nevada, east of Reno a few years back. Can see their towers from the Wal Mart every time I go shopping. Seems their employees like no income taxes.
