If you haven’t heard of Jungle Jim’s or haven’t made the trip to visit this unique store you are missing out! This isn’t just a grocery store; it’s a destination point that everyone should check out. The store is a massive 6.5 acres and is like a playground for foodies. Known for featuring unique international products, Jungle Jim’s also provides space on it’s shelves for local goods. Our coffee can be found in the grocer coffee aisle (not the wholesale whole bean area). The $5.99 price point makes our coffee a steal and visiting Jungle Jim’s will be well worth your trip. Seriously, you can spend hours in this store marveling at all the items they have. Jungle Jim’s International Market is located at 5440 Dixie Highway Fairfield, Ohio 45014. You can’t miss the store, there is a giraffe out front, but just in case click here for directions.
Why Buy Local Products?
- For every $100 spent locally $68 goes back into the local economy. Comparatively, only $40 of every $100 spent in a big chain goes back to the local economy.
- Locally owned businesses spend a larger share of their revenue on local labor (29% local vs. 23% corporate chains). This means jobs stay in the local community.
- Local retailers spend almost twice as much buying goods & services from other local businesses than the corporate chains spend. Local businesses often bank locally, hire local accountants, local attorneys, local designers, etc.
- Local retailers donate more on average to local charities and community organizations than big chains do.
Stay tuned! For the next few weeks we will be posting all kinds of information on buying local, while highlighting the local businesses we work with.

Have you heard of Tropical Nut & Fruit? If you haven’t you are missing out! This company sells bulk and packaged snack & food items. Although they were not founded in Columbus they do have two local locations and they sell local products; including our coffee! They also work with many independent businesses.
This company values all of their customers and works diligently to make sure their partnerships are mutually beneficial. If working with local businesses and selling local products isn’t enough reason to buy from this company let me entice you with one more…Four words: peanut butter yogurt pretzels. These pretzels taste amazing, are competitively priced, and they go great with a cup of Crimson Cup coffee! Seriously, once you’ve had them you will want more!
