About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Vons Pharmacy’s checkout aisle—a mysterious bottle of ‘Elixir of Youth’ among the usual supplements. Nobody knew where it came from or what it did. Soon enough, everyone started buying the elixir, hoping for a quick fix. Even the delivery driver tried one, thinking it was just vitamins. A few days later, he delivered groceries while humming and dancing—until his boss asked him to take a break outside. Turns out, the real Elixir of Youth made everyone believe they were immortal… until they forgot their anniversary appointments.

2. A little boy walked into Vons Pharmacy one afternoon and pointed excitedly at an empty shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why is there a whole row of missing lollipops?’ The pharmacist smiled gently. 'Son,' she said softly, 'those weren’t lollipops—those were tongue depressors!' The little boy looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing, his mom joining in. The story became a neighborhood joke from that day on.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Vons Pharmacy with a truckload of supplies. As he unloaded boxes, he heard whispers coming from inside the pharmacy. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and sleeping staff. The whispers grew louder, until he realized they were just old records playing on an ancient turntable in the corner. With a laugh, he finished his work and went home, leaving behind a pharmacy filled with ghostly tunes and a note reading: ‘Next time, knock before entering!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Vons Pharmacy late one night with a crate labeled ‘Top Secret.’ As he unlocked the back door, curious neighbors peered from their windows. Suddenly, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Delivery for Mr. Secret Ingredient?' The driver laughed and shook his head, handing over an empty box. A minute later, a regular customer walked in, muttering, 'Finally found a place that delivers voodoo potions!'
