Love’s Travel Stops to deploy Jamba by Blendid robotic kiosks

Blendid, a robotic foodservice solutions provider, and Jamba, a provider of on-the-go freshly blended fruit and vegetable smoothies, made-to-order bowls, fresh-squeezed juices and shots, boosts and bites, have announced plans to expand Jamba by Blendid autonomous robotic kiosk locations to Love’s Travel Stops, according to a press release.

The first Jamba by Blendid kiosk piloted at a Love’s Travel Stop will open this summer in Williams, California, just outside of Sacramento.

With more than 590 locations in 41 states, Love’s Travel Stops provides drivers and motorists with 24-hour access to clean and safe places to purchase gasoline, diesel fuel, compressed natural gas, travel items, electronics, snacks, restaurant offerings and more from coast to coast.

“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,” Joe Cotton, vice president of food services for Love’s Travel Stops, said in the press release.

Jamba by Blendid kiosks leverage Blendid’s contactless food automation platform foodOS, a patented machine learning, robotics and artificial intelligence-enabled system, to provide motorists with easily accessible, nutritious food options made on-demand and customized to meet individual preferences at any time of day.
