Jungle Jim's International Market

Port-let-looking Bathrooms at Jungle Jim's

If you wander up and down all the many (many, many) aisles of Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield (and there are too many to list, but suffice it to say they feature 150,000 items from 75 different countries that fill 300,000 square feet), you’ll eventually have to go. As in “to the bathroom.” Founder Jim Bonaminio has much to be proud of at this marketplace and tourist destination, which started out as a humble roadside canteloupe stand in the 1970s and is now one of the premiere food markets in the U.S. But Jim's especially proud of the bathrooms, honored with America’s Best Restroom Award in 2007. Why? They don’t look like bathrooms, and patrons are often faked out by the Porta-Let doors, which are plastered with Rumpke stickers on them (it’s OK! They’re not Porta-Potties! Go inside!). Beyond the doors are large (clean!) stalls, fresh flowers and inviting artwork. Get there: Take I-275 to Ohio 4 and head north about 5 miles into Fairfield. Once you reach the (non-working) monorail (really), you've arrived.

This is a must-see for visitors

Whenever we have family or friends in from out of town, Jungle Jim's is almost always on the schedule. The looks on people's faces are absolutely priceless when they see acres and acres of every possible food item imaginable.

Highlights for me include:

  • The bathrooms. They really are amazing to see in person.
  • The wine section. Wines and spirits from every corner of the globe.
  • Butter island. 'Nuff said.
  • The international section, where you can buy candy from Australia and chips from the UK. This makes this Anglophile very happy!

    Admittedly, we don't shop there for normal groceries since we live in Oakley and Fairfield is at least a half hour away. But it's a fun place to visit every now and then, the prices are actually comparable to a a local grocery store.

  • It IS surprising!

    Jungle Jims is everything great!

    The new bathroom designs are

    The new bathroom designs are simply innovative, I can't say anything more, these are fantastic designs. I really wonder if I this would be good on the my planned hotel which caters to couples but I'm afraid that their sex paraphernalia such as butt plugs which is scattered around the place which I'm personally disgusted with.

    Ugh... Really ???

    This is one of the best we can do ?

    Good health is harder to

    Good health is harder to define than bad health (which can be equated with the presence of disease), because it must convey a concept more positive than mere absence of disease, and there is a variable area between health and disease. Health is clearly a complex, multidimensional concept. Health is, ultimately, poorly defined and difficult to measure, despite impressive efforts by epidemiologists, vital statisticians, social scientists and political economists. Each individual's health is shaped by many factors, including medical care, social circumstances, and behavioral choices.
