There's Lions, and Tigers, and...Groceries - OH MY!
Come explore and experience what makes grocery shopping so much fun at Jungle Jim's International Market! You'll notice that Jungle Jim's International Market is something pretty different yet very special, the second you pull into the parking lot. Two life-size plaster giraffes are surrounded by a family of plaster elephants in a shallow pond. Brown plaster chimps hang from the roof over a stand of giant plaster fruit. There is a 5-foot tall Gorilla hanging "King Kong" fashion on top of the enormous Greenhouse.
There's a forty-foot boat in the fish department labeled "S.S. Minnow." Cartoon silhouettes of the Gilligan's Island crew are painted on the windows. Stuffed monkeys dangle over the banana display, and you select the fungi of your choice from a giant mushroom. When automatic sprayers turn on to mist the vegetables, they're accompanied by thunder and lightning. A full-size authentic horse-drawn buggy looms over the Amish-style meats and groceries section, and a large animated lion dressed like Elvis sings every five minutes on a glittery stage.
Hosting more than 50,000 shoppers a week, it's a world tour of food fantasy from the Fabled Sherwood Forrest to the General Mills Cereal Band on a Boat to the Campbell's Soup Can Man swinging high above the soup aisle. Displays include dancing animatronic animals, an authentic shrimp boat, aquariums, wine cellars and even a fire truck suspended over 1,000 different hot sauces.
The Food Adventure Tram is the latest attraction at Jungle Jim's, a 6 & 1/2 acre store that features international foods and fresh produce. Upon it's completion, it will transport customers from the parking lot through a “scenic adventure” en route to the store.
