Bruegger’s Bagels and Jamba Juice celebrate the opening of a their first co-branded location in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City-area on September 14 at 708 South Riverside Drive in Iowa City.
The partnership brings the best of both brands together all under one roof. Guests can enjoy Bruegger’s Bagels’ fresh-baked bagels, 100% made-in-Vermont cream cheese, sandwiches, soups and salads alongside fresh squeezed juices, signature smoothies and energy bowls from Jamba Juice.
The new co-branded location will offer several new menu items and new dessert options such as New York-style coffeecake, cheesecake brownies and Greek yogurt blueberry muffins. New coffee offerings include premium Rainforest Alliance Certified coffees, seasonal single-origin pour-over coffees, specialty espresso beverages and organic 20-hour cold brew coffee.
“At the South Riverside Drive bakery, longtime local Bruegger’s Bagels fans will notice an enhanced experience with a new service model, updated interiors and premium menu
extensions along with the new menu offerings from Jamba Juice,” said Bruegger’s Bagels President Paul Carolan. “Our co-branding initiative with Jamba Juice is a powerful partnership that provides an opportunity to create a new dining occasion with strong offerings across all day parts for customers of both brands.”
Bruegger’s Bagels/Jamba Juice currently has co-branded locations near the University of Connecticut campus, in the Boston area and in Pittsburgh. The site selections put Jamba Juice in mature Bruegger’s Bagels markets to help introduce the brand to new customers.
“We believe introducing Iowa City to our co-branded concept is a great opportunity because Bruegger’s Bagels is well established here with many longtime fans,” said David Pace, CEO of Jamba, Inc. “At the same time, Jamba Juice will offer Bruegger’s Bagels customers a unique variety and even more reasons to visit at breakfast, lunch, snack time and dinner.”
The store will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. eClub members will receive their choice of a FREE Bagel & Cream Cheese, small espresso specialty coffee, small signature smoothie or small fresh-squeezed juice on opening day, September 14th, at the South Riverside location.
