The store features a wide selection of items at reasonable prices, making it a popular choice for locals. Customers appreciate the helpful staff, especially in the deli and bakery departments, where made-to-order party trays, customizable cakes, and cupcakes are available.

The store is well-equipped with services like Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™ to suit shoppers' busy schedules. Inside, shoppers can find additional amenities such as a California Lottery Machine, Starbucks, and a Wells Fargo ATM. The store's location next to the freeway exit and ample parking make it accessible and convenient. However, some reviews mention staffing issues, especially during busy times like the day before Thanksgiving, resulting in long lines and limited cashier availability. Shelf restocking can sometimes be disruptive, with items out of stock or difficult to find, and occasional concerns about product quality, such as expired items or foreign objects in food. Despite these challenges, many customers enjoy shopping at Vons for its wide selection, friendly service, and extended hours until 11 pm. Overall, it remains a reliable local grocery store with a welcoming atmosphere.
Friday $5 specials are always a significant saving.

Great place to shop. Only one lane was open at 8 am on Friday, November 24...a day after Thanksgiving. An employee saw two of us in line and she immediately opened another lane..no waiting at all. Cashier was friendly!Plenty of parking; store is located on El Norte Parkway, next to the Freeway exit!

Really enjoy shopping here but today I found a piece of plastic in my pasta salad.And I should also add that a month or so ago I wanted to purchase a Kinder Bueno at the checkout but it seemed that the whole box was already expired so don't forget to check the expiration dates.
