About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something strange in one of them—a tiny plastic dinosaur that kept appearing in different aisles throughout the store. Nobody claimed responsibility. Soon enough, customers started noticing the little guy too. Some thought it brought good luck, others believed it was a sign from an ancient god of shopping. The dinosaur became so popular that employees even started leaving him out overnight—just in case someone missed him during their visit. Eventually, Vons decided to make the dinosaur part of their holiday displays, and now every year, kids come in hoping to spot ‘the lucky dino’ hiding somewhere among the shelves.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver was stocking shelves when he heard an unexpected announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, Vons customers! Due to an urgent shortage, our bananas are now officially out of this world.’ Everyone froze for a moment, then pandemonium broke loose as everyone rushed towards the banana aisle—only to hear another voice crackling through the speakers: ‘And just so you know, our bananas are back from their little trip!’ The delivery driver looked around, confused, and realized it had all been a prank by his neighbor who worked in the audio department.
3. In the dead of night, when Vons grocery store should have been quiet and empty, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps echoing through the aisles. Curious, he followed them until they led him to an open refrigerator door. Curious, he peered inside and saw only a carton of milk gently swaying back and forth. Startled, he reached for it—and found himself face-to-face with a mischievous neighborhood cat that had taken refuge in the fridge. The next morning, everyone laughed as the delivery driver proudly showed off his new furry friend, adopted from the very place where they least expected it.
4. One day, while restocking the dairy section, a delivery driver noticed an oddly familiar face staring back at him from the milk carton labels. Curious, he asked the other drivers if they recognized it too. Turned out, everyone had seen that same friendly smile on their morning cereal boxes for years. It was just the local grocer’s wife, always smiling warmly as she packed groceries for neighbors.
