About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking out, a regular noticed an unusual item among the groceries: a small, handwritten note attached to a bag of potatoes read, ‘Free if you sing Happy Birthday.’ Amused, the customer started humming the birthday tune as he paid for his groceries. Over time, other shoppers joined in, creating a spontaneous impromptu concert. By the end of the day, Vons had become famous for its singing potatoes—and everyone left with a smile.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Vons with a mysterious crate marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL CLOSE’. Curious, he carefully opened it… inside was a note saying: ‘Happy Holidays from Vons! Enjoy our special midnight sale!’ The driver laughed and drove off, thinking, ‘Now that’s customer service.’
3. One day, a regular asked aloud as he scanned his items: ‘Why does Vons always seem to run out of bread just when I’m in a hurry?’ Just then, a delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Sir, our bread supply has a secret pact with your stomach—when you need it most, they conspire to be unavailable!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘I’ll believe that when Vons starts delivering fresh bread directly to my kitchen.’
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery truck pulled into Vons' loading dock. The driver's footsteps echoed through the empty aisles as he pushed a strange, wrapped package towards the dairy section. As he placed it on the shelf, an old carton of milk fell over with a loud thud. Startled, the driver looked around and saw nothing but a regular smiling back at him from behind the cheese counter. Turning off the lights, he left in a hurry, never realizing that his reflection had followed him all along.
