About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates of bananas when he noticed something odd: every banana had an extra finger wrapped around its stem. Word quickly spread among shoppers who started noticing similar anomalies—apples with secret compartments and oranges that seemed to wink back at them. Soon enough, word reached the manager, who decided to investigate. Turns out, it was just an overzealous produce artist playing pranks on customers. A regular began whispering, ‘Maybe they should hire him full-time for customer engagement!’ And thus, Vons became known not only for their groceries but also for occasional performances from the mysterious banana-fingered artist.
2. Late one night, a security guard patrolling Vons heard an eerie humming coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found nothing out of place—until he realized the sound seemed to be getting louder. Just then, he noticed a banana leaning against an apple, whispering back! Thinking quickly, the guard pretended not to notice and slowly backed away. From that day on, whenever anyone asked if Vons was haunted, he’d just smile and say, ‘Only by bananas trying to start conversations.’
3. In the dairy aisle, a curious bottle caught a regular’s eye—it read ‘Milk of the Month Club,’ but there was no sign or subscription list. Curiosity piqued, he bought it anyway. He drank it that night and dreamt he could fly like a bird. The next morning, his cereal tasted like milkshake. Word spread quickly among neighbors, and soon everyone was buying Milk of the Month Club bottles. A delivery driver even delivered one to the local vet for his cat—who promptly started purring louder than ever before.
4. In the frozen food section, a shopper stopped in her tracks and asked aloud, 'Why does this ice cream always seem to be melting?' Just then, an elderly gentleman approached and smiled warmly, saying, ‘Oh, that’s no ordinary ice cream—it’s Vons’ secret time-traveling treat! It only looks melted because it’s from the future!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had by Vons’ quirky sense of humor.
