Vons

I like going to this Vons because it’s so close to my boyfriends house and it’s also very clean! We can always find what we’re looking for without a problem :)

Vons on 25^th street needs parking more cashiers and less people outside begging for something the staff is great but on overload from us losing albertsons

This is one of two Von’s in San Pedro and most will tell you this one is better. It’s a nice enough grocery store but I tend to find more of what I’m looking for at Ralph’s. Also the employees are hit or miss. Most are quite nice and helpful but there’s always one, not so much. Example, I love that there’s a Starbucks here. Me– here’s my Starbucks card. Clerk– oh you can’t use that. Me– ‘Really? Are you sure?’ Clerk– ‘sorry it’s because we’re in a Von’s.’ I stop here almost every Monday. Guess what? The following Monday I used my Starbucks card, as usual. I even asked about it, of course you can use your card. The girl before probably didn’t want to do two transactions, I’m assuming. Not sure why since at 6am it isn’t exactly swamped with people.
It is clean though, in a little mini mall and sometimes the parking can get scarce.

Great store… The only reason they didn’t get five stars was their customer service is not good at answering their phone

This review is for the Pharmacy but can be for the whole market .I have come here with many questions about the medication prescription to me, the workers here have always been very helpful and courteous. My medication is always on time. this is a clean store and everyone looks happy.

ok so I usually don’t leave any bad reviews … you really have to get to me for doing that. I have only been going to Vons for a short time since Haggen jacked up all the prices … I just left in absolute disbelief … the young lady, Sara, at the register said but 2 words to me the entire transaction as she proceeded to THROW my groceries down the belt. I had asked her for bags. nothing …she preceeded to ignore me continue to throw my items. so I started grabbing my own bags and packing up my stuff… at the end she decided to grab one bag and throw stuff into that after I had packed my own other 7 bags … absolutely rude … lost complete touch with their customers … at least say hello before you throw my groceries ??

This store always has helpful staff.
Lisa was exceptionally supportive yesterday.
GREAT Organic section!

There are no self-​checkouts and they usually only have one register open between 8 — 9 AM. For some reason, this is actually when a lot of people show up. I have waited 10 full minutes to get through a line because someone’s plums weren’t scanning and there were 3 other customers ahead of me and two after me.
Today, one lady walked over to the customer service desk and finally asked if they would open a register. This girl was just staring at the long line and didn’t do anything until she was approached by a customer. It was annoying because I have to come here every morning for work and I waste a lot of time standing in these unnecessarily long lines. I mean the girl was just watching us wait!
The cashiers also don’t acknowledge you when you approach the register and would much rather talk to each other about their weekend or their kids. I can’t even get one lady to tell me my total, no matter how many times I’ve been there.
What saves this place is that they always have everything I need, the parking is decent, and there’s one manager who is always nice — she’s shortish (well, I’m tall so that’s relative) and always has her hair kind of slicked back. She seems like she actually cares about what people think but that’s really where the customer service in this place ends for me.

This is random– but depending on who makes your sandwhich here, the chicken artichoke sandwich is really good. It takes a while to make and one worker told me he doesn’t like making it because it is a pain, but it is really good. Sometimes I add avocado to it, but it is just as good when you get it how it is normally prepared. Chicken, artichoke, marinated mozzarella, aoli – on a soft roll! It is a sandwich from their board.

Dislike this Von’s every time I go there the staff are always in a bad mood and really bad customer service I’d rather go to the one on 13^th n gaffey

If you want a decent store that’s open late in the area, this is it.
I’d rather go to Sprouts, but this one is open a lot later, so it gets my business frequently.
It’s quite decent, the cashiers and other employees are really nice and courteous the absolute majority of the time, which is rare for Vons, especially the shithole that’s located on Gaffey St.
Here the parking lot is clean and no bums or druggies. At least I haven’t noticed any. Don’t feel unsafe going there at night.
The store is clean and organized quite well.
Produce always looks pretty good…
The prices are inflated for the most part, so do make sure you get the Von’s «Club card» and fish for deals.
Four stars only because it’s probably the best market in the vicinity.

This Vons is located near my house by the intersection of 25^th and Western and anchors a very nice retail center.
Selection is pretty good, I’ll break it down:
Meats, very good selection of moo moo but they do need to increase their selection of turkey and ground turkey items. People want that stuff!
Produce, I think Vons has always been good at this, pricing is average but you can troll their app to find deals on produce, I score all the time doing that and my roommates and I sorta plan our group meals for the week based on what is on sale.
Fish, …mer :(Vons u can do better at this.
Staff is great no complaints there, overall this place is solid for your grocery shopping, do it.

Far superior to the Vons on Gaffey/​13^th.
In my experience, this Vons is always clean, organized, and I’ve never been stuck in a long line with very few registers open.
I also tried their grocery delivery service and was very pleased. The driver called in advance to ask if he could deliver my order early and was very polite and respectful in my home.
Keep it up Vons!

This is definitely a nicer Vons than the one on Gaffey and 13^th. The parking lot is large, clean, and they have products outside the door, like water and plants… something they wouldn’t do at the other one. There are also other small businesses in the lot, such as Subway, Ron’s Jewelers, Malaga Bank, etc. It’s definitely brighter up here, which could be because we are closer to the water, but it’s just a nicer vibe. I don’t see any riff raff hanging around and for that matter, I also didn’t see any security.
I only needed a few items to make my cajun shrimp tacos, so my intention was to go in and grab some limes, green onions, and tomatoes. Their produce section here was great. It was large, the produce was pretty and vibrant and it didn’t look as dark inside as the one on Gaffey does. The lighting is tricky in that location, so you don’t see how shabby the selection is.
Walking into this one, I can see that the ambiance of Vons is meant to be less lighting or a little darker and it doesn’t help with the dark wood floor by the produce section. If you go to Ralph’s or Albertson’s grocery stores, you will know what I mean. Those stores are very bright. I do like this location and I am so glad it’s in my neighborhood. I’d rather go to this one than the one on Gaffey. They have a huge sign up that says, «Serving San Pedro since 1963.» And they will now be serving me from 2015! :-)

Hey, no one likes going to the grocery at 6am, but I needed to get some quick items and be out of the store, since my favorite Albertson’s was not yet open. So, I’m waiting at the empty checkout for ten minutes and the only person near the register was so busy at the lottery ticket machines that she foolishly loses sight of customers in line to check out! When I patiently waited for her to turn around so I could get her attention, this Asian woman wearing thick eyeliner did not bother to greet me, I had to ask her to get someone to check me out. She grumbled, I’ll call someone but she never did! How rude is that? So a younger lady came by and called for checkout but no one ever came. Needless to say, I lleft my groceries there, walked out and will never come back.

Decent vons with good quality produce. Really hard to get help though.

My review is for the deli. my first experience wasn’t the best but I still gave it another try, the produce does not look fresh and they are sloppy sandwich makers. This deli is a mess I had to ask for fresh lettuce and tomatoes.

Clean, friendly cashiers, the flow of the store is appealing and it’s over all a good experience.

As far as the «ghetto and nice» review, it’s true to a certain point.
The biggest thing this Vons has over the other is the selection. I come here to buy potstickers and nice orchids and I just can’t do that at the one on 13^th. The other thing the «nice» Vons has is lack of lines. I’m in and out here. The other never has enough checkers and the lines are ridiculously long. If I’m going to be paying much more for groceries, at least get me out of line quickly!
Speaking of paying more, Vons is so ridiculously high I can’t see how people do the majority of their shopping here. And that’s just the groceries, I can’t even bring myself down the cosmetics or drugstore aisles.
Both of the Vons are nice and all the cashiers are friendly at both so I think «ghetto» is a little harsh. Superior/​Walmart is ratchet, Vons isn’t.

Some people would call this the nice Vons and the one on Gaffey, the Ghetto Vons. I always laughed. I actually went to the Ghetto Vons more often because it was bigger and closer. Both of them are okay.
This Vons is nice because it’s smaller and it’s kept nice and clean. It IS located in a nicer area so that will be a plus for some people.
I also remember this location had the heated employees during the strike. They would yell at customers entering and leaving the store. Funny, I didn’t see that issue at the Ghetto Vons.
