<p>No to the latter. My kids grew up on Jamba Juice in New York City years ago and were very happy to find a store here in Minnesota when we moved here 9 years ago. According to Wikipedia, it’s a California company that was operating under a different name until they bought out Zuka Juice, a nationwide smoothie seller, and started opening sotres under the Jamba Juice name in 1999, beginning in New York City.</p>
<p>I think the tour guide was either just trying to sell a whopper, or was just terribly misinformed. It could be the latter. There aren’t many Jamba Juices in New England, and there might have been only 1 in Boston at the time. It could be that this kid had seen them all over California but knew of only 1 in Boston and extrapolated from that limited data to conclude that the 1 in Boston was the only 1 east of the Mississippi. Some people are that provincial . . . and that bad at inductive reasoning.</p>
