Vons

Store is very clean and neat. This Vons has stuff that other Vons does not have. The only problem is that I can only shop here when I come to visit my hometown. People are friendly except for the cashier she’s the short heavy Hispanic lady. She was very cold and did not look and say anything to us. That will not stop me from shopping here I will have to go to another cash register next time.

Worse customer service ever. A lady who seemed to have a great deal of mental issues and was obviously employed by this Vons was gathering carts in the parking lot hit my brand new car with one of the shopping carts. When i said «Hey «she started yelling at me as if it was my fault and began calling me names. Now nothing would of occured of this matter and it would never of been reported had she had not called me derogatory names but she did. I then went inside and spoke to the Manager who practically laughed in my face about what had occurred. Her explanation — she’s mentally challenged and that was her excuse. I then wrote the Corporate offices of Vons. Their reply — «we will look into this ». That was the last i heard, they did nothing. Two weeks later she’s still working there. Be forewarned: BE CAREFUL WHEN PARKING THERE. CHECK YOUR VEHICLE FOR DAMAGES AFTER SHOPPING OR BETTER YET, STAY CLEAR OF THIS VON’S.

Whenever we’re in town, we come here to get barbecue supplies. It is a small drive from where we stay, and I’m guessing is one of few major commercial areas in this town.
The parking is never an issue, and the lines are never long. The store is well stocked, clean, and efficient in service. I always find what I’m looking for here, which is great because I am very picky about what I eat. They also have a starbucks location inside.

This Vons was strange because I felt like I was in the twilight zone. The employees were more helpful to the folks in front of us paying with their EBT card. They didn’t say two words to us though. It was the only chain grocery store in the area which is why I stopped by.

I had some time to kill in Santa Paula so I stopped in Vons and did some grocery shopping. It’s a nice, clean store with lots of variety. The isles are wide and the shelves are well stocked. They have a bakery, deli, florist, meat counter and all the regular groceries. Staff was friendly and polite and when the lines got a bit long they called up another checker.
Good parking lot and they have a bathroom available to the public. Yay!

The price is always decent and for the most part the shelves are stocked accordingly. what makes this location versatile is the fact that they not only have the Wells Fargo, the Starbucks, the bakery and a deli, but they also have a solid selection of fruits and vegetables as well as seafood if you’re about that life.
Oh! And a floral department for when you forget and need those last minute flowers. we’ve all been there.

I am the current duchess of this Vons because this store is convenient when I just have to have cheaper crackers, cheese or sodas than at Tresierra, but I prefer other Vons because the stores in Ventura have better selections. This store does have ample parking with a Wells Fargo, flowers, and a bakery all packed into a smaller store.
On our last visit, an employee noticed us wandering around trying to find crackers and Pace picante sauce (hot, of course) and she cheerfully gave me the aisle number for the Pace which was on sale thanks to our Vons card just for u savings. She led my husband to the crackers which were a dollar cheaper than at Tresierras as was the margarine. The store seems to be handling their check out lines better now and we zipped through on New Years Eve.
We also get a kick out of our Chevron gas rewards, so it does pay to shop here. But for fresh tortillas, meats, chips, veggies, and fresh Pico de gallo you can’t beat Tresierra.

I live in Santa Paula and I have learned not to ever shop at this store. It is very poorly managed. There are always employees wandering around, chatting, not working.
There are always empty bins in the bakery dept. Sale items are usually not available, as no one refills the shelves. The cashiers are phony nice, which does not feel nice.
Yesterday morning I ran in there to buy some top sirloin that was on sale. It was 7:30 am. My least favorite phony cashier asked if I had found everything I wanted in the store. I told her that there was no london broil…(which is what I went in there for).Her response was, «Oh I guess he didn’t cut any yet». Well the store is open for business, and that is a featured item!!! Inexcusable. It reminded me why I never go there.

I just read Vanessa’s review. I think that chicka has been smoking some crack, because there is not a Panda Express inside of the Vons… lol, funny! There however is a Panda Express way down at the other end of the mall by CVS, on the corner… over a thousand feet away I am sure! No where near Vons, and you can’t smell it from there.
This is an amazing Vons! I love the service and the people. Love Clarita and Linda! These two ladies are amazing! So many good people here! Love to shop here and always go into their lines!
It’s like a family away from family!
There is a Starbucks inside of Vons… I think that might be the only thing Vanessa may be smelling while in the produce section. But, yeah… that’s coffee! That’s a pretty good smell!
My favorite days to shop: Fridays and late nights on Mondays! But I also love the weekends! :) Fridays are the best time to go though! $ 5 Fridays!
Love this Vons!
P. S. Maybe Vanessa meant to rate a Vons in San Diego? Hmmm…

Slowest grocery store I’ve ever been too. Unfortunately I visit this one every day because its close. Never enough cashiers open, always out of stock, can’t even find a cold vitamin water.
Expect a long wait for everything here, including parking.

Yeah this place sucks. Poor quality meats. But it’s all we got here.

I’ve been going to Vons ever since I moved to CA a few years ago, and this is by far the worst location I have been (and given that my wife and I move every 3 months for work, we have seen quite a few).
First off, there is no Panda Express in this location, as some have said; however there is one attached to the same building complex, but it is hundreds of feet away…
I can’t comprehend why every Vons has to be layed out so completely differently. Obviously different stores will be different sizes and be working in different spaces, but that general flow of the place could be a lot better. Why is there food, then non food, then food, then non food, randomly from isle to isle? Why is some of the cold stuff down this isle, then the freezer stuff down a few isles away? Why are the cheeses and creams not up the isle directly in front of the milk? Stupid planning.
Most of the staff has been lazy and unhelpful. The checkout lines are ALWAYS backed up, and I always see random workers wandering around doing nothing. There are a few staff members who have been friendly every time I am there, so they aren’t all bad.
Buying produce here is like opening Pandora’s Box. I never know if it will be amazing or mold the next day. Even what does seem good at first never stays for very long, kind of like they put the oldest out to sell while the new is ripens beyond use in storage.
I was going to say that my Just4U wasn’t working correctly here, but I realized I had the wrong location saved on my account page, even though it had still worked at many other Vons in the past. When I updated my account with a Santa Paula address, the Just4U started working again.
This location does have a RedBox, but it is the only location in town, meaning everyone comes to it. This wouldn’t be bad except the machine is inside the building beside the front door. Thus, a huge line congregates in front of the entrance and across where people need to exit from the checkouts. Why can’t this machine be put outside like so many other RedBox locations? That keeps the non Vons shoppers out of the way and fixes the congestion problem at the door.

Try and shop at the SP Vons on Fridays… Major Savings. Parking is not bad and the customer service is fantastic. Everyone is always very nice.

Um, hate to break the news to you Vanessa Z, but there is no Panda Express inside this Vons.
And I don’t understand the other negative reviews. I’ve gone to this Vons about 3 or 4 times and EVERY TIME the staff there has been over the top friendly and helpful.
The selection isn’t as good as a Pavillion’s, but other than that its a good market.
