Independent Visitor Guide

Jungle Jim's Eastgate opened in 2012 on Cincinnati's east side as the second location of the famous Jungle Jim's International Market. Sitting just off I-275 in the Eastgate area, the store offers Cincinnati east-side shoppers a closer alternative to the original Fairfield store roughly 45 minutes away.
While the Eastgate footprint is smaller than Fairfield's 6+ acres, the product mix is the same Jungle Jim's signature: groceries, beer, wine, candy, snacks, produce, and prepared foods from 70+ countries — organized by region across themed international aisles.
Call ahead to confirm current and holiday hours.
East-side Cincinnati shoppers typically choose Eastgate for convenience, while destination shoppers from Kentucky, Indiana, and Columbus head to the larger Fairfield store. See our Jungle Jim's Fairfield guide for the original location.
