About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in the Vons supermarket when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of oranges, he kept hearing whispers coming from one particular crate. Curious, he opened the crate carefully, revealing only more crates inside—each whispering softly. Finally, on the bottom layer, he found a single orange that seemed to glow faintly. Taking it home as a joke, his wife insisted it was cursed until their neighbor confessed she’d hidden it there for pranking them all. The end result? A free lunch and a good laugh.

2. It was just another day at Vons, but as the delivery driver unloaded boxes of cereal, he heard someone mutter, ‘I’m never leaving here without trying that free sample.’ As he turned around, nobody was there—just an empty aisle and a suspicious packet of granola. Smiling to himself, the driver thought, ‘Well, looks like I’ll be sampling some cereal today!’

3. It was early dawn at Vons, when a delivery driver unpacked crates filled with something unusual—canned laughter. As he placed each can on the shelves, customers started glancing curiously around. By lunchtime, every aisle echoed with laughter so loud it drew neighbors out of their homes for a peek inside. That day, Vons became famous not just for groceries but also for its unforgettable soundtrack—a perfect blend of bananas and belly laughs.

4. It was late afternoon at Vons when a delivery driver unpacked crates filled with canned goods. Suddenly, a small child pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! All these cans are dancing!’ The delivery driver blinked a few times, then grinned sheepishly. He reached into his truck and pulled out a small mirror, holding it up to one of the cans. Sure enough, there was a tiny reflection—a neighbor’s cat, playing mischievously behind the shelves. Everyone laughed, and from that day on, Vons became known for its very own can-dancing cat.
