- PFPJ F4 days ago2.0I won't go back to this Vons. Everything is locked up. Even the cotton balls! It took forever to get someone to come open the doors.
- FAFida AlAbedDec 24, 20254.0Love it but prices are really exaggerated.. I'd rather get most common stuff from other cheaper stores.
- LDLezlie DoblesDec 24, 20255.0I went in last weekend to pick up a few things and ended up browsing around longer than I planned. The store is pretty clean and the aisles are spaced out so you’re not bumping carts all the time. Produce looked fresh, and the dairy section was well stocked too. Prices were about what I expect, a few deals here and there which was nice on the wallet. Staff at the checkout was friendly, even if the line moved a bit slow, but nothing crazy. Overall it’s a solid place to do your regular shopping, and I’ll probally go back again when I’m in the area.
- DSD SalgadoDec 23, 20255.0I'll say this... the meat selection is good for a chain grocery store like Vons. The staff is the typical southern Californian... they're not over friendly but when you ask for help or any kind of assistance, they'll kindly help you. The 🌶 and vegetables section is on point. I'm close to Sprouts, Target and Aldi, I'll shop at Vons all day over any other store close by. If a trader Joe's shows up... might consider going less often.
- MMMichelleDec 7, 20251.0Truly the most passive aggressive shopping trip of my life. Everything was great, until checkout with the cashier Mindy. She was absolutely rude, cut me off as I stated I had a pack of water in my cart, and completely ignored me. If you’re unhappy Mindy, please find another job that does not incorporate customer service. I will never come back and gladly give my business to another store who at bare minimum can be civil and fair.
