About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually warm November morning when Vons grocery store came alive with chatter and laughter. A regular, Mr. Jenkins, had just discovered something peculiar in the dairy aisle. As he bent down to inspect it further, a delivery driver accidentally bumped into him from behind, causing both milk cartons and Mr. Jenkins’s hat to fly everywhere. The entire aisle erupted in giggles as everyone watched him scramble to gather his belongings, ending up with a face full of cold milk—an unexpected but memorable way for Vons to brighten someone's morning.
2. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver unloaded crates of oranges into the Vons loading bay. Among them was a crate marked ‘Exotic Fruits’, but as he opened it, everyone’s jaw dropped—inside lay a single watermelon labeled simply: ‘World’s Largest’. Nobody knew where it came from or why. The manager inspected the giant fruit with curiosity and announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, we now have the World's Largest Watermelon!' Soon, customers flocked to see the spectacle, snapping photos and joking about who would win the bet on how long it lasted before someone tried to cut it open. Eventually, a regular from the neighborhood suggested: "Why don’t we just slice it up for everyone? It’ll be like our own little harvest festival!" And so they did, sharing slices and stories until even the seed-spitting contest became a friendly tradition.
3. At closing time one night, a security guard noticed something strange in the Vons parking lot. ‘Hey,’ he whispered to himself, ‘I thought I saw a ghost pushing a shopping cart.’ The guard followed cautiously, but when he got closer, he realized it was just an old lady who lived nearby doing her late-night grocery run. She smiled and said, 'Oh, hello there! Thought I'd grab a few things before heading home.' The guard laughed, shaking his head, thinking to himself, ‘Next time I'll believe my eyes sooner!’
4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver unloading groceries at Vons heard a soft humming coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found nothing out of place—until he smelled a faint scent of fresh-baked bread wafting through the air. As he peered into the shadows, he saw an old lady smiling warmly, pushing her shopping cart filled with apples and oranges. ‘Fresh bread every morning,’ she whispered gently. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking maybe she was just another friendly neighborhood пенсионерка. But when he returned home later that day, his own kitchen smelled exactly like freshly baked bread too.’
