About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at Vons when an elderly gentleman noticed something peculiar in the produce section. Every morning around sunrise, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from the apples. No one else seemed to notice it, but he couldn't shake the feeling that those red cheeks were up to no good. One morning, a delivery driver mentioned to him jokingly, ‘Maybe they’re laughing because you forgot your shopping list again!’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘Nonsense, I always come here with an empty basket—apples never lie.’ And so, every dawn, the gentle hum of suppressed giggles would fill the aisle as people passed by, oblivious to the secret life of the fruit.
2. At Vons, a cashier muttered under her breath as she scanned yet another oversized shopping basket: ‘I wonder if he even knows what’s in there.’ As she finished scanning, she noticed an old neighbor pushing the same cart out. With a smile, she whispered, 'Guess he finally decided to take inventory himself!'
3. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Vons and cranked open the refrigerated truck door. A strange humming sound filled the air, like distant bees trapped in a box. Inside, rows of cans began swaying gently, as if dancing to an unheard tune. The delivery driver, curious but not alarmed, reached for a can—only to realize it was humming along with the mysterious noise. Smiling sheepishly, he turned off the truck’s engine, and the humming stopped instantly. It was just the old refrigerator coming back online after a power outage. Back home, his neighbor asked, ‘Did you hear that funny noise?’ He replied, ‘Nah, must’ve been my imagination.’
4. At Vons, a regular shouted in frustration one morning: ‘I swear, every time I come here, they’ve moved everything!’ Finally, an exasperated delivery driver growled, ‘It’s not us moving stuff around—you just can’t remember where anything is!’ A neighbor chimed in with a smile, ‘Maybe it’s Vons’ secret way of keeping us exercise-crazy shoppers coming back.’
