Jungle Jim's monitors tariffs to manage product pricing

Jungle Jim's, a popular international market in Cincinnati, is paying close attention to tariffs. The store is known for its wide selection of products, with over 200,000 items from about 75 countries. Zack Cobb, the creative director, says that tariffs have always been a part of their business. He emphasizes the importance of keeping communication open with both suppliers and customers. Recent tariff worries have led to some price increases, particularly in seafood and produce. Cobb notes that while there have been some price hikes, it is hard to predict the full impact of tariffs. The store is trying to be flexible with its buying to minimize costs for customers. Mark Borison, the host of Jungle Jim's podcast, mentioned that the store aims to keep price increases as low as possible. He believes their independence allows them more room to adjust to changing costs. As the situation with tariffs develops, Jungle Jim's is staying vigilant and ready to adapt to any changes that may arise.
