About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes of canned goods when he noticed something strange. Among the familiar labels on cans, there appeared one with an unfamiliar brand name: ‘Vons Special Sauce.’ No such product had ever been ordered before. Curious, the driver opened a can and took a cautious sniff—only to burst out laughing at its sweetly sour aroma. Later that day, while stocking shelves, a regular asked if they carried Vons Special Sauce. Smiling, the employee replied, 'Only in dreams, pal.'
2. A night watchman was making his rounds when he heard a faint humming sound coming from the freezer section. Curious, he approached and saw an aisle of cans slowly rotating like a miniature Ferris wheel. As he watched in amazement, one can gently nudged him with its cold aluminum shoulder. Smiling sheepishly, the guard whispered, ‘Alright, alright, I get it—you’re on break too!’ He turned away, but paused mid-step as he heard a distant voice calling, ‘Hey! Where’s my Diet Coke?’ Turning back, he found a nearby customer smiling warmly and pointing at the slowly spinning display. The guard laughed, shaking his head, and replied, ‘Must be Vons’ way of keeping things interesting.’
3. One morning, while stocking the shelves, a young employee noticed an unusual pattern on the cereal boxes. Were they really smiling back at her, or was it just her imagination? She showed her discovery to a colleague, who shrugged and said, 'Probably just the new smiley font.' But every time she passed those cereal aisles, she’d swear they were winking. Eventually, someone painted over them with plain white labels—and everyone agreed it looked much neater.
4. One day, while restocking the dairy section, a store clerk noticed that the milk cartons seemed to be arranging themselves in alphabetical order. Curious, she watched them for hours until finally, one carton mischievously flipped over and whispered, ‘We’re not rearranging ourselves—you are!’ Turns out, an enthusiastic delivery driver had been practicing his newfound juggling skills with empty boxes during breaks.
