About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the late afternoon, when Vons supermarket closes its doors for the day, some say you can hear soft whispers coming from the empty aisles. A regular once asked the manager if they were just customers leaving things behind. But no, the manager shook his head with a smile and said, ‘That’s just Mr. Vons saying goodnight.’ The next day, everyone laughed when they saw a small note stuck to the door: “See you tomorrow, my faithful shoppers!” signed, of course, as always, “~Mr. Vons”.
2. In the early morning hours, when Vons supermarket is quiet and empty, a faint humming sound can be heard coming from the produce section. No one knows where it comes from or why—it’s neither refrigerators nor trucks delivering goods. As days passed, more employees started noticing the mysterious hum. Some thought it was ghostly fruit spirits, others claimed it was their hungry stomachs talking. Finally, a delivery driver joked that maybe it was just the bananas singing for attention. Everyone laughed—until one night, an old neighbor passing by heard it too. Turning around, she smiled and said, ‘That’s no mystery, kids. It’s probably just the air conditioning kicking in.’
3. At midnight, when Vons supermarket stands dark and silent, a delivery driver swears he heard soft laughter coming from the empty aisles. Curious, the driver followed the sound until he found an open bag of chips on the floor, gently rustling in the breeze. Turning around, he saw only empty shelves—and his own reflection smiling back at him in the glass door.
4. At closing time, when Vons supermarket turns off its lights, a regular customer asks aloud: ‘Do you hear that?’ Suddenly, everyone in the empty aisles hears a soft humming sound. A delivery driver whispers, ‘Is it just me, or does that sound like… cash registers ringing up free groceries?’ Everyone bursts out laughing as they realize it’s only the echo of their own voices.
