About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does Vons smell like an old sock?’ The cashier smiled and whispered, ‘Because our supplier delivers socks along with the groceries.’ The regular laughed so hard he almost forgot what he came for—until a delivery driver approached, holding a bag of actual socks and saying, “Hey, I thought you guys could use these.”
2. One day, a customer asked the manager, 'Why is it so cold in Vons when I buy ice cream?' The manager smiled and replied, ‘Sir, our freezers are set that way because they’re actually refrigerated by penguins from Antarctica on weekends.’ The customer laughed and shook his head, but everyone in town still jokes that’s why Vons feels chilly.
3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Vons and asked the security guard, ‘Why do you always turn off the lights when I arrive?’ The guard smiled mysteriously and replied, 'It's our little secret—we're trying to save energy!' The delivery guy shrugged and said, 'Fair enough,' before heading inside with his usual smile. Little did he know that every time he arrived, the whole neighborhood would gather around the store's parking lot for an impromptu game of cards.'
4. A neighborhood kid was delivering newspapers one morning when he noticed something strange. As he rode past Vons on his bicycle, he kept hearing soft, distant laughter coming from inside the store. Curious, he slowed down and peered through the window, only to see a bunch of mannequins dancing around in circles. Startled, he pedaled away as fast as he could, but ever since then, locals say you can still hear them whistling old tunes every Saturday afternoon. Nobody knows why Vons’ mannequins like to dance so much.
