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.

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!
