Edit 1-20-23. This Vons is closing and is running a 10-90% sale on all items in store from the beginning of January to the 26th of January. The first visit towards the beginning of January had plenty of items but a few areas had limited inventory. The 2nd visit was roughly a week later and more stuff was gone. Slowly the store was clearing out. The 3rd and last visit was around the 20th. Majority of the store was cleared. A couple of the staff claimed the staff took most of inventory. But ended up looking around and saw that they had large pallets with huge boxes with most items throughout the store to send to other nearby stores. The promotion states that the store is 10-90% off until inventory is completely gone. NOT take 50% or more of the inventory to other stores because you don't want to either mark prices down further or stay open until the 26th. Cleary false advertising. Just another basic grocery store. Their inventory of items and food is limited or out of stock often (been going on well before 2020). Some items are randomly placed or are placed in a totally different isle. Quite a few staff members are nice and helpful. A couple are pretty clueless and/or rude. Most of the security lately has been decent. Homeless and theft are very common. Security and staff does the best they can do but the uneducated politicians and people just let it happen. Pros: has some locking sliding doors on a few different isles (good idea for those items). Large parking lot. Cons: Some isles that needs the locking cabinets doesnt have them. Limited or out of stock on many items. Sometimes people will park in the lot and leave to other locations (should have patrol or extra 2-4 staff for lot duties and either tell people to park elsewhere or actually use the tow services). Homeless and the nutcases are often here and often causes a scene in the store and/or in-front of store.

Weve loved our neighborhood Vons and the excellent employees that have served the community. This store will close at the end of January until the redevelopment of the site with housing is complete and the new building will include a ground-floor supermarket. Until it closes there is a storewide clearance sale going on.
