Normally we wouldn’t consider a supermarket an attraction but this isn’t an ordinary supermarket. It’s huge and filled with food imported from Africa, Asia, Germany, Spain, India, Poland, Norway and many other countries. We didn’t recognize most of the items and were planning on trying some of them but the most exotic thing that we bought was a bag of chocolate covered Jelly Bellies :- ).
Part of the fun is looking at all of the decorations – boats, a fire engine, parts of planes, big fiberglass animals, a monorail, all kinds of things. Jungle Jim’s started in 1971 as a parking lot produce stand and expanded to include 180,000 items and 300,000 square feet of store. This is the second location which opened in 2012.
The parking lot is huge too so no matter what you’re driving it’ll fit. Store

Be sure to check out Wegmans as you head north. International shopping from VA through MA. Jungle Jim's is now on my radar!

We love Wegmans! Too bad it's not in more locations but it seems like things change as companies grow bigger so maybe it's a good thing that it hasn't.

ReplyDeletelol - yeah you could get lost in the store. They hand you a map at the entrance.
