I prefer this Vons because even through the remodeling phase they had a year ago, the staff were really helpful to make sure we got what we needed and could find it. The place was being upgraded and they had to close down early for a few weeks, maybe a month, but after that, the place is great! it is always clean, the staff is still awesome, the security guards are very nice about walking people to their cars if they need to, and everything is easy to find. \n\nVons prices are pretty fair to me. I use my rewards card and the price gets knocked down even more, got to love that! The wine and other booze is pretty cheap then most places I know. Plus, a great selection as well. So many choices, so many wines to taste! \n\nThe surrounding population that may come to Vons can be a bit creepy, but overall I feel safe walking here from the University when I need to grab some stuff or even a cup of their soup they make on a daily basis. Mexican Tortilla Soup-Yum!\n\nIt really is not as bad as the reviews are making it, I agree with Ashley B.'s post!
