[LATIMES] More than 25 years after the first Jamba Juice shop opened in San Luis Obispo, the owner of the smoothie company announced plans to move its headquarters from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to Texas within eight months.
Texas gets more Democrats. I'll bet they're thrilled.
California loses tax revenue. I'll bet they're equally thrilled.
| Tax revenues and jobs. But that's why there's welfare, so the workers have nothing to complain about. |
Jamba Inc. will close its Emeryville, Calif., office and establish a new corporate home in Frisco, Texas, about 30 miles north of Dallas. In a statement, Chief Executive David Pace said Jamba was looking for places that had "competitive operating costs," access to "skilled restaurant talent" and an "attractive cost of living," along with a central location for further expansion.
"The state of Texas meets all of these criteria and Frisco is a community committed to healthy living that aligns closely with our overall mission," Pace said.
The company's lease in Emeryville is set to expire at the end of the year. |
