Before I arrived in Heron Land....... they had sent me an itinerary of things planned but not set in stone. One of the possible activities was a trip to Jungle Jim's. Personally I thought it sounded like an amusement park........ and wondered what they had in mind for me - the one who HATES amusement parks.
Well dear T is the shopper in the family - and she was saddled with the "visitor" on the Jungle Jim trip......... Jungle Jim's is a grocery store....... but a grocery store like none I have ever seen before...
Come walk with me through this adventure in grocery shopping........
This is what greeted me when we pulled into the parking lot...... a grocery store you say????!!!
Soup Aisle
Veggies - if memory serves me right.
Fresh Fish aisle
Just more "scenery" for one's shopping pleasure.
Hot sauce aisle
Oriental food stuffs
obviously cereal aisle
Mexican foods
British foods
Indian foods
Natural Honeys
Everything you could want for your pet and then some!!All I kept thinking was "thank god I don't a) have a Jungle Jim's close to me and b) thank god I don't have room to bring back food !!!"
That's a truly amazing supermarket. Is it part of a chain, or a one-off?

Hermione - I believe a one of a kind.. Raheretic told me it was the biggest in ...... Ohio?? the States?? I honestly can't remember.. but it is one of a kind and apparently is known far and wide.. people come just to visit Jungle Jim's and I understand why !!!
ReplyDeletewow....Never heard of it...but if i ever get even close i am going..love your pics! abby
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind strolling through it with my camera.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of like Wall Drug - a drugstore in a small town somewhere in the States (I forget where. Maybe South Dakota.) There are signs along the highway every 30 seconds, advertising it, and it is one block square. It is the town's main tourist attraction.

Where is the pic of you falling into the latrine???? LOLOLOL!
ReplyDeleteJungle Jim's was started by a college student selling fresh veggies and fruit from his car trunk. It is HUGE. Several acres of store. Anything you could possible want. And if they don't have it, all you have to do is ask. Not only will they order it for the store, but they will call you when it is in stock and tell you where in the store you can find it! He is planning on building a hotel because it has become a destination/vacation stop for many people. www.junglejims.com.
