FAIRFIELD, Ohio — Jungle Jim’s International Market has the best restroom in America, according to the 6th annual “America’s Best Restroom” contest, an online poll by Cincinnati-based Cintas Corp., a provider of restroom hygiene products and services. The retailer was honored for its restroom’s “chic jungle motif throughout expansive facility concealed by port-o-let doors.” Jungle Jim’s received an “America’s Best Restroom” plaque of recognition from Cintas during a special presentation yesterday. “I’m all about putting smiles on people’s faces,” said Jungle Jim’s owner Jim Bonaminio. “People are so tense these days. Those bathrooms just seem to make people laugh and that’s what we’re all about: laughing and having fun.” Jungle Jim’s was among five finalists covering a cross-section of businesses — including restaurants, hotels and casinos — selected for having exceptional hygiene, style and open access to the public. Other winners included Catch 31, a Virginia Beach restaurant, and Mix Lounge at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Tens of thousands of votes were cast.
