About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Vons with an unusual load: boxes wrapped in old newspapers and tied with string. As he unloaded them into the backroom, a regular passing by noticed something odd—one of the boxes seemed to move slightly. Curious, the neighbor peeked inside and found nothing but a few cans of beans and tomatoes. Shaking his head, he walked away, muttering something about strange deliveries these days. The next morning, however, everyone was laughing when they saw the sign on the door: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! We’ve been out of canned news lately.’
2. In the early hours of one morning, a young child awoke and crept towards the kitchen. What caught their eye was something they’d never seen before—a strange glow coming from inside Vons’ loading bay. Curious, the child peered through the window and saw an old delivery driver humming softly as he stacked boxes. Suddenly, a neighborhood cat jumped onto the counter, causing everything to slide off in a chaotic heap. The driver laughed heartily, picked up the feline friend, and said, ‘No worries, little one—just another late-night adventure!’
3. One foggy morning, a shopper found something peculiar in her shopping cart—a small, handwritten note that read: ‘Take one item for free today.’ She scanned the aisles curiously, picking up random items until she reached the checkout counter. The cashier raised an eyebrow but smiled knowingly. Later that day, as she was leaving, she noticed another note taped to her car mirror: 'Welcome back! Free bananas tomorrow.'
4. One day, while stocking shelves at Vons, a worker noticed a strange note taped to a box of cereal. It read: ‘Take only what you need, but leave behind something unexpected.’ Curious, our worker took a closer look and found a tiny toy car inside—a perfect surprise! Word spread quickly through the store, and soon everyone was leaving unusual items in boxes: a pack of gum here, a candy bar there, even a free sample of cheese. By closing time, someone had left an entire bag of their favorite cookies next to the cash register. The next morning, a delivery driver found a note on his truck: 'Thank you for shopping at Vons—we hope you enjoy your unexpected gift!'
