    The Elvis lion animatronic is a former animatronic from original Chuck E. Cheese’s! And that Pedro animatronic is also an original Pasqually animatronic from CEC.

    As an Ohio residnt it's always surreal to see a video pop up on Jungle Jim's. The Jungle Jim lore runs deep here, some people say he used to move cocaine to pay for his store.

    I went here with a family friend's family while I was staying at their house, there to visit the University Of Cincinnati. Needless to say I was confused when they offered to take me with to the grocery store while they and my mom shopped. They described as a giant store that sold international food. I was expecting a big warehouse, with plain shelves, though this didn't quite mix with the name Jungle Jim's which I guessed was just a branding thing. Needless to say I was completely blindsided by this this unironically and shamelessly gimmicky, kitschy store. I found myself oddly charmed, even though that talking soup can completely jumpscared me when I walked into the main section past the original wooden store. It felt so earnest in all of the quirkiness and gimmicks that I couldn't help but be pulled in, and my Mom seemed just as charmed. She eventually bought a frozen Australian pie, which I was afraid would go bad on our way back home, but it was really good. Needless to say I need to go back sometime with a lot of disposable income and support this crazy place.

    1600 miles just to go to Cincinnati? Where you from my guy?
    You know about Kroger, you have to be somewhere between Missouri, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and before the original 13 colonies. Which tells me you're either outside of the USA or you're from the West Coast. I live 5 minutes from the Fairfield store, it's the same in terms of food, but different from the Eastgate location. Both have SO many choices when it comes to international food. Of course, he's been in this business so so long, that his family has helped oversee it at this point.
    The experience is being able to find foods you cannot find elsewhere. Several people I work with, cannot find the food they need in their native stores (Indian, Ecuador, China, South Africa, Thai), so it's cheaper to go to Jungle Jim's if you need some options you can't find in your own stores related to your culture.
