About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Vons supermarket, every Wednesday around sunset, a soft humming sound would fill the aisles. No one could identify its source—neither management nor the delivery drivers—noticed it before. One Wednesday evening, an elderly lady stopped in the dairy section and asked, ‘Is that honeybee singing again?’ A nearby delivery driver shrugged, grinned, and replied, ‘Must be—it only happens when no one's paying attention.’ The humming continued until Friday morning, when everyone forgot about it, and life at Vons returned to normal.
2. At Vons, late one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the empty aisles. The shelves seemed to whisper softly to each other as if sharing secrets. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old shopping cart slowly rolling down an aisle, its wheels clicking like tiny footsteps. Startled, he called out, but it kept going until it stopped near the bakery section—whereupon a loaf of bread popped up from behind a shelf and whispered back, ‘Just taking a midnight snack!’
3. At Vons, on quiet Sunday mornings, an elderly gentleman could often be seen carefully arranging produce in alphabetical order. One day, a young delivery driver asked him, ‘Why do you always arrange everything so meticulously?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Son, it’s simple—when I’m done, even God knows where everything belongs!’ As he walked away, the driver overheard someone whispering behind him, ‘I bet that’s why they never fire him—he keeps the whole store organized better than anyone else.’
4. At Vons, one day while restocking the produce section, a delivery driver found an old, dusty violin nestled among the lettuce heads. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be nothing more than an old toy fiddle with missing strings. The driver joked that maybe it was a musical announcement for free samples or special deals—‘Violin Sings, Sale Begins!’ But no one else heard anything but crickets chirping in the aisle.
