Are there really any groceries here?

Yesterday Janey and I went up to a grocery store. Not just any grocery store, but Jungle Jim's. This place is big. It's a grocery store like Little Americe is a truck stop. Imagine, if you will, that Trader Joe's merged with 99Ranch Market and then grew to the size of a Costco and a half. This place is odd. At one point there is a beer/wine section that would make a Beverages and More close up in shame of not having any selection. There is a walk-in Humidor that puts most tobacconists to shame. There is a selection of cheeses that you wouldn't believe. Their natural foods section is the size of a standard grocery store. The place is like a gourmet's theme park. Heck, outside they have an old Disney Monorail train mounted above the parking lot. Inside there is a re-creation of the S.S. Minnow. I counted 2 fire-trucks, 3 Nascar (Show cars, not the real racecars...) and 5 palm-trees. There are penguins in the freezer section. I could have spent more than the 2 hours we spent in there. In the beer section, they even had my favorite beer. I am definalty shopping there for the more exotic foodstuffs that Janey and I both like.

Other items of note:
An abso-frickin-lutley huge hotsauce selection
Jungle Jim himself walks around the store
There are singing characters all over the place and even a Live Band!

There are even more attractions that I haven't even touched on.

Below is a picture of the Monorail in the parking lot.
