In Short – Using $1,200 in savings, Charles Von der Ahe opened a small grocery in downtown Los Angeles in 1906. Now part of the Safeway retail company, Vons can be found throughout California and in parts of Nevada. The full-service deli and bakery is handy for home or office parties, or for those who want a gourmet meal or treat at home. Some locations have added perks including in-store coffee shops, restaurants or ATMs.

Fresh Cut Flowers and a Latte
by cpo5815 at Citysearch
I love walking up to this Vons in the morning to get a bouquet of fresh cut flowers for the apartment for the week. They have a wide variety of arrangements and most are under $10. Most florists would charge you $30+. I just replinish my own vase each week! Its easy to grab a starbucks while your there and enjoy the short stroll back home.
- Pros: Inexpensive, good variety
- Cons: Not custom made

Makes food shopping ok
by mattfire at Citysearch
I love the Von's in HB. The people are always interesting (which makes food shopping bearable), the lines are short, and the staff is plesant an helpful. An easy place to get everything you need prior to a big beach party!
- Pros: scenery, parking
