History
Elvis originally came from the Cincinnati, OH (11400 Princeton Pike) Pizza Time Theatre and was bought by Jungle Jim's after the location closed in Fall 1984. When Elvis was first installed he was located next to frozen foods this is now the checkout lanes. His stage was a diagonal stage with the backdrop being of gold streamers and on the floor were moonshine jugs and rocks from the Rock-afire Explosion. Cosmetically Elvis had not been changed yet from when he was installed at PTT.

In 1998 both the stage dressing and cosmetics for Elvis were modified. The backdrop was changed to a print of a beach with palm trees covering it, this was also when the Elvis neon sign was installed. For the RAE Props The Moonshine jugs were moved to the cigar section of the store and the rocks were destroyed. Elvis's outfit was changed from the original silver and white outfit to a blue and leopard print outfit. His guitar was then repainted from the original red design to a gold paint with black trim.

In 2001 due to the expansion of the checkout, Elvis was relocated right in front of the checkout which today is where the "EXOTIC MEATS" are located. The stage design stayed the same with the only noticeable different was a white strip above the backdrop. The stage was then relocated again in 2005, to where it currently being located in the candy section of the store. Since 2005 he's gone through two major restorations. From 2010 - 2011 Elvis was taken out of Jungle Jim's and was was restored changing many mechanical parts. Comparing footage from 2010 and 2011 once returning he was in far worse shape, although by 2012, he was back to normal condition. In early 2019 Elvis stopped working and had become a statue this was due to the computer no longer playing any shows.

During the summer of 2019, Elvis was shipped off to be repaired by Life Formations. During that time a sign was installed that stated "Elvis has left the building, But the king will return". On August 2nd, 2019 "The King" returned with mainly fixes to how fluid his movements were. The movements that were working on August 2nd, 2019 were Mouth, Eye Left, Eye Right, Blink, Head Left, Head Right, Head Up, Strum Hand and Right Leg. A total of 8 movements out of 13 movements. Pre repairs Elvis had a total of 5-6 movements that being Mouth, Eye Left, Blink, Strum Hand, Fret Hand, and Foot Tap (until 2017). Also despite the store claiming "The King" was returning, the only changes were mechanical, removing none of the Elvis branding.
