Vons

Nice Von’s, first time here tonight and I can say I will return for regular grocery shopping. I am new to the area.

I have had nothing but PROBLEMS since Ms. June retired. The staff in this pharmacy is a complete joke. I have been having problem after problem with this new staff for about 4 months. I can call in my prescriptions and tell them exactly which meds that I need refilled and they use to call to let me know that my meds are ready but not anymore. Then they take my meds and restock them. I politely told them that I do not live around the corner and cannot be running back and forth to pickup half of my meds at the most. The new staff is not very polite. I was standing there waiting for someone to notice me waiting and this guy (I think his name was Dave) was on the phone with a customer and was talking to a customer very rude calling him dude this dude that. NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. So it is time for me to find another pharmacy that gives a little concern for its senior citizens. I’m DONE WITH VONS.

This place is very clean compared to other locations. Food is always stocked and I can always find what I need! Employees are very friendly especially a young man named Shaun who I saw was helping a man who didn’t even speak English and was very helpful to answering my questions. I say he should get promoted!

I was never really a fan of Vons, but I LOVE this vons– all the other ones around here suck! This one is always clean and fully stock and the cashiers are fast to get you in and out and very friendy… I looove the FRESH bagels that they out out HOWEVER lately they have been trying to pull one over us and puttingout old ones from the bag– you can tell the difference because of the thickness and how hard it is inside. Also I understand change is needed for growth BUT what is up with all the new staff where is my favorite old workers? Not a fan of the deli area– TWICE have i had rude customer service so I stay away from there– ill make my own sandwich ;P

Around the holiday times, Von’s always seems to have the best sales on what I need for my holiday dinners. Unfortunately, the one by my house is the worst Von’s ever, always out of everything. Today I decided to come check this one out and try my luck. The parking is not the best since they share the shopping center with other businesses, but I managed to grab a spot. I was shocked how clean the store was, the produce and meat section were literally over stocked. The store is huge with a bakery and deli section, and by the way the chili from their Signature Café section is some of the best we have had. Von’s is pricier than other grocery stores to me, but when they have sales, I will be driving to this location from now on.

I wouldn’t buy the produce here if you can avoid it. It’s not fresh and if it looks fresh then most likely it doesn’t taste good. I only buy other things such as almond milks, cereal, etc. that are organic.
There is a very sweet security man who always greets you at the entrance. I think his name is Alberto.

Came here for the USBank ATM because the ATM the gardena bank location was out of money. Very convenient for me. Now I know this is another location I can go to for quick withdrawals.

Be very careful in the meat section. Lots of expired packages and when they are restocking the meat sits out for a long time while they take breaks. Their produce section is pretty good now though with lots of organic options.

Check the dates on any food you buy. My wife and I were looking for chicken breasts in the meat department and found several packages that were use or freeze by two days ago. I took them to an employee and walked away.
As we were going down an aisle we looked back and saw him put them right back in the case! Good way to get food poisoning. Thanks Vons! Be sure to check dates on everything you buy!

Walking in to this vons you quickly see the differences between it and other grocery stores in the area. This store has a big produce section, meat deli, hot food section and even a bakery. You can find items at this store that you may not be able to find at others. As for customer service, they have a few nice and friendly cashiers and of course they have the rude ones. I shop here because of its quality and quantity of items.

Oh Angie, the cashier. Didn’t need the attitude at all today. Happy Thanksgiving though.

I’ve been here a couple times now as it is close to work.
I come to get fruit and veggies for the work week.
Their fruit is pretty nasty — last time I was there, I was trying to get some granny smith apples. I spent about 5 minutes going through and looking at all of them and I could not find one decent one. They all had bruises and were discolored.
I knew it was a ghetto location immediately because of the turnstiles.
Also, there is no self checkout and the lines are always long and take forever because they only have 1 or 2 lanes open and people are just SLOW — cashiers and customers!
I will not be back — I will go to the Ralph’s down the street which is WAY better!

I could swear they used to talk up their produce like it was the best in the land… NO WAY… Its pretty sad when you keep saying «its way better at Food 4 Less».
Anytime we come in here, no matter what time of day, no matter what day of week that produce department is a MESS. SOOO much ROTTING produce it is literally insane. What isnt rotting looks like they pick all the bad pieces out, or parts off and its shrunk down to nothing.
There is ONE plus though, they do have some unique fruits you dont find anywhere else around like their dragon fruit.
The other night it seemed like they were having an issue with their freezers, everything looked melted and re-​frozen.
OH and TONS of expired items! Especially the dairy. I felt like we were in the twilight zone last time I was there, everything I picked up was crap.
We used to always shop here, I wont be coming back here. Between the produce, the fact they ALWAYS have only 3 lines open (and one is an express lane) I’m over it.

Could open more cash registers

A few times I shop here, there’s always 2 cashiers when the store is busy. The manager is horrible & doesn’t notice that the lines have 15 people waiting in each line. Get it together!!! Plus when I buy veggies there, some of the stuff are spoiled or rotten. If u shop here, PLEASE CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE!

This is my local grocery store. Its conveniently located in a shopping plaza with several dine in restraunts. I come here to buy a beer and snacks most of the time. The cashiers all have good and fun attitudes. I agree with the person who said she’s never encountered a problem at this location. By the way Angie the cashier is nice!

They sold me 2 month old EXPIRED MEAT!!!
So I have been a loyal customer to this store for over 3 years, never had a single problem. I have always been very content with the service and usually everyone was very friendly… until you have a problem with the produce you just purchased. So I wanted to have a bbq and decided to buy 20 dollars worth of Bubba burger patty’s. The expiration date was 3÷05÷14 and the date purchased was 5÷26÷2014. We prepared the burger patty’s and it wasnt until my mom ate a burger that she realized the meat had gone bad. I was so upset that this store had sold us this old meat. I went back the next day (today) so that I can get a refund and warn them about the meat and maybe hoping that they would be a little concerned! Well… nope!!! The manager offered no appology and instead told me that the meat was fine because it was «frozen» so the meat was fine to eat. My mom is now sick to her stomach and these idiots think its ok to sell rotten meat. I cannot believe that the manager did absolutely nothing about trying to make things better. I will NEVER shop here again and neither should you. If they believe its ok to keep expired food on the shelves because its «frozen» then something is seriously wrong here.

I happened to be in the area for work and was looking for a place to pick-​up a little lunch while keeping it healthy. I figured I would be able to find something in Vons, I was wrong. This is possibly one of the dirtiest markets I have ever been in.
I walked into this market and I immediately noticed that the inside of this market was set up like a fortress. There were turnstiles that only turn one way, a metal fence that surrounds the cashiers only allowing customers to exit via open register lanes. After I was able to find my way in I began to notice how dirty the floors were. The floor had a great deal of dust, footprints and scuff marks upon scuff marks. The scuff marks looked as if no one had broken out the mop in days if not weeks.
I walked around and noticed a smell that just did not seem right. I noticed dust on the shelves and was disgusted I felt dirty and began to seek out the bathroom to wash my hands and get out of this place. When I walked in the doors of the bathroom I was honestly shocked at the how dirty it was. There was soap on the floor, unflushed toilets, graffiti on the sink & mirror, paper towels everywhere & garbage overflowing from the rubbish can.
I cannot believe that a market that sells food is allowed to operate with conditions that I found at this location. I have been to third world markets that were cleaner than this one was on the day of my visit.
I finally had enough and abandoned my search for lunch and began the fun experience of trying to get out of this place. As stated above this place because of location is set up like a fortress I found myself having to walk down a register lane that was occupied with people. I had to squeeze past people that were engaged in transactions with the cashiers and honestly felt uncomfortable.
I never thought I would come across a market that was more in need of a wrecking ball than this location.
There is zero with a capital ‘Z’ snowballs chance in you know where that I will ever come back here. Honestly if this was in the only market within miles I would break my ‘forever’ streak and finally break down and shop for food at ⁷⁄₁₁.
I have one word to describe this market, GROSS!!!

I have a serious love/​hate relationship with this store. I love using the Von’s app and the Just For You pricing.
5 stars for this location because it has a gas station and I can use my rewards for discounts on gas.
4 stars for the staff as they are always friendly and helpful.
2 stars for the meat department. Maybe I am shopping on the wrong days but everything is picked over.
2 stars for the length of lines. Some days I’m in and out with a breeze and other times its 5 customers deep with fully packed carts.
And 1 star for expired items! It never fails that the items I forget to check are the ones that have passed the ‘sell or use by’ date. I just don’t get it… they have a section for these type of items, but clearly they are not being checked regularly as I purchase something expired at least twice a month.

I usually hate rating Super markets. NOthing here is exciting or note-​worthy.
SOmetimes you get a good experience, sometimes you don’t.
I am a fan, however, that it seems like this location is sort of quiet, for the most part. No one harassing me for change or buying candy outside.
I am also a HUGE fan of the ‘Buy one get one free’ deals they have littered around the store.
Just wish more places would do stuff like that.
