KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to GoTo Foods Funding LLC and Jamba Juice Funding LLC, Series 2026-1 (GoTo Foods 2026-1) Class A-1 VFN and Class A-2 Notes, a whole business securitization (WBS). The rating actions follow KBRA’s analysis which indicates that existing credit enhancement for the notes and cash flows are sufficient to support the ratings following the issuance of the Series 2026- 1.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series 2026-1 Notes, the Series 2017-1 Class A-2-II, Series 2022-1 Class A-1 and Series 2023-1 Class A-1 Notes are expected to be repaid, at which time, KBRA expects to withdraw the ratings. KBRA also anticipates affirming the ratings on the Co-Issuer’s outstanding Series 2022-1 A-2, Series 2023-2 Class A-2, and Series 2024-1 A-2 Notes.

GoTo Foods is a multi-brand restaurant platform consisting of seven brands: Auntie Anne’s, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s Southwest Grill and Schlotzsky’s, with offerings diversified across snacks, baked goods, frozen desserts, smoothies, deli and Mexican-inspired concepts. The securitized system includes approximately 7,200 locations across all 50 U.S. states and 71 countries and territories. As of the last twelve months (LTM) ended March 29, 2026, the system was approximately 98% franchised by unit count and generated approximately $4.1 billion in system-wide sales (SWS).
