For those times when you're feeling the pull of your wanderlust, there is an amazing international food market right here in Ohio that's a bonafide trip around the world... no passports required! Welcome to Jungle Jim's International Market in Ohio.

When was the last time grocery shopping was fun? A delightful, total-sensory, trip-around-the-world experience?

For Ohioans, shopping at Jungle Jim's International Market is always a good time. An amazing, awe-inspiring, mind-blowing adventure!

You may be wondering, "How many Jungle Jim's locations are there?" Luckily, there are two! With two locations in Southwest Ohio that boast more than 500,000 square feet combined, hundreds of thousands of products, and over 70 countries represented, Jungle Jim’s International Market bills itself as "locally grown, but internationally known" — and indeed, it is.

This international market is a veritable destination for foodies, tourists, and weekly shoppers alike; from those coming from around the corner to across the pond and beyond. It's legendary, and for good reason. It's also one of the most unique shopping experiences in Ohio.

Just be careful what you wish for... the fire department might need to be called!

If cheese is your love language, you'll be smiling all the cheesy smiles at Jungle Jim's. The Cheese Shop at this international marketplace carries more than 1,400 cheeses from across the country and around the world, but also has a huge selection of world-class charcuterie, jams, crackers, and more!

In fact, Jungle Jim's is kind of famous for its cheese department, hosting an epic "Big Cheese Festival" each year that attracts turophiles from across the country!

From international foods to Amish-made pies, tropical produce to fresh-from-the-sea fish, cheeses galore to old-school candy, you'll find it all — and then some — at Jungle Jim's!
