A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Vons supermarket, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. As he unloaded boxes of canned goods, an old sign above him began to softly hum and flicker on and off. Employees shrugged it off as nothing more than a quirky glitch, but soon enough, customers started reporting hearing strange noises coming from the aisles. Finally, after days of complaints, a tech team came in to check the store’s wiring. They found nothing wrong until an old lady approached them, pointing at the ceiling and saying, ‘Oh honey, that’s just the ghost of Mr. Von, the original owner, trying to tell you where his lost cookie recipe is hidden!’ Everyone laughed, the noise stopped, and Vons became known for its hauntingly good cookies ever since.

Turns out, those were not apples making the noise—just hungry neighbors on a shopping spree!

At Vons supermarket, a delivery driver once asked himself: ‘Why does every box of cereal seem to sing when I open it?’ It turned out that a regular had been leaving his old records in the cereal boxes as a prank. The delivery driver finally caught him red-handed, laughing so hard he almost forgot to deliver the groceries on time.
