I stopped by there last year; the cheese tower is even more impressive in person.

It’s a challenge to capture how massive it is!

how lucky you are to have Jungle Jim’s local. It’s at least a couple hours drive for me

Is that an absolute monster Mozzarella stick?

We are so lucky to have Jungle Jim's nearby. I like exploring the international produce area and picking something at random to try!
I went there looking for a top quality unsweetened chocolate for hot cocoa and wasn't finding it, but the place was packed and some aisles a bit hard to shop. So I asked an employee who disappeared for ten minutes, then returned with a big bag from the England section, and it makes the most exquisite hot cocoa I've ever had. (Well, my partner makes it with that chocolate lol.)
Can't say enough good things about JJ's.

It's a 2.5 hour drive from where I live, but Jungle Jim's is always worth the visit!

I try to remind myself to be grateful; it’s easy to forget how unique of an experience it is! If you haven’t been in a while, it’s worth another trip as they’ve remodeled quite a bit of it in the last few years.

There's another one nearby in Eastgate but the original one is much better

The employees are always super helpful! At one point, I was looking for a specific type of date that has a short season, they didn’t have any at the time but they went and got one of the produce managers for me and he showed me all of my ordering options. They were able to get me an entire case shipped within the next couple of days and held it behind the counter for me! It really is crazy how often you can find/get things there you just cannot find elsewhere.

Alaska deserves the big cheese!

😂 if I’m not mistaken it’s cheddar, but pretty much, yeah!

I moved away a few years ago and I may or may not have driven back home at one point for a weekend to attend a food festival here 😅 was very happy to move back

I like that they went with a totally different layout at Eastgate, it makes it worthwhile to visit both, but I definitely prefer the OG ☺️

I was just here last month. I took a picture in this exact spot because my friend's got an overweight cat named Cheese

i can’t blame you, we have a way of taking these things for granted. and thank you for giving me a reason to make a trip!

Casually calling Jungle Jim's "my local grocer" smdh.
I've been there once and immediately knew where it was from the pic.

The big cheese is really good. Close to an asiago or ramano. Really sharp too.

That looks awesome! I wish we had something like that in Alaska.
