Jungle Jims International Market Celebrates 50 Years

Jungle Jim’s International Market is celebrating 50 years during the month of August. It all started with a fruit stand, big dreams, and even bigger produce in Ohio in 1975. Back then, it was just a few items, some bold ambition, and Jungle Jim himself making deals and cracking jokes. Jungle Jim’s International Markets has two locations with its Fairfield location and an Eastgate store. The Fairfield store is larger than the Eastgate location merchandising more than 200,000 square feet of shopping space, and over 180,000 products from which to choose from. Each store is known for their “kitschy” atmosphere, animatronics and exotic produce and seafood.

To celebrate, Jungle Jim’s will be offering limited edition merchandise, fun collaborations, great deals, food, and drink demos, and lots of surprises. Customers can enter to win a limited-edition Jungle Jim’s Lego set, a one-of-a-kind collectable, and sample the new Fruit Stand Wheated Ale, inspired by the original fruit stand.

An estimated 82,000 shoppers visit Jungle Jim’s stores each week. It is said that Jungle Jim’s is part grocery store and part amusement park. Congratulations to Jungle Jim’s and here’s to another 50 years of adventurous shopping!
