Love’s Travel Stops to deploy Jamba by Blendid robotic smoothie kiosks
Blendid and Jamba have announced plans to expand their Jamba by Blendid autonomous robotic kiosk locations to Love’s Travel Stops, building on initial deployments in retail locations and college campuses.
The first kiosk piloted at a Love’s Travel Stop will open this summer in Williams, CA, just outside of Sacramento, marking an expansion into rest area locations.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer our guests a new way to enjoy delicious food on the go. Jamba by Blendid will give customers another option to get refreshing food at select locations in California,” says Joe Cotton, Vice President of Food Services at Love’s Travel Stops.
Jamba by Blendid kiosks leverage Blendid’s contactless food automation platform foodOS, a patented machine learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence enabled system.
“Our robotic smoothie kiosks are helping leaders across the hospitality industry meet the rising demand for fresh food options - delivering the fast, customisable and nutritious food choices that consumers crave, where and when they need it,” says Vipin Jain, CEO and Co-founder at Blendid.
“It is exciting to see more opportunities for Jamba by Blendid kiosks to expand across retail properties, college campuses and now along highways and major thoroughfares across the country in the years ahead.”
“Jamba is thrilled to be expanding Jamba by Blendid kiosks into the travel stop industry with Love’s,” says Geoff Henry, President at Jamba.
“Making Jamba inspired smoothies readily available in this new vertical allows us to meet our guests seeking freshly made, wholesome smoothies even when they are on the road.”
More details on locations and kiosk offerings will be made available as plans are finalised.
