I've given up shopping at any Vons location and give my business to Trader Joe's, Ralph's, Lazy Acres, Gelson's or Target. For ease I prefer using any stores "Self Checkout" vs going through the register checkout. Vons Self Checkout is obnoxious! The voice speaks constantly, turns off constantly requiring an employee to reactivate. Frequently an employee isn't assigned to the Self Checkout area and comes from the front cubicle requiring the customer to wait. Please visit other stores, your competitors who successfully utilize Self Checkout and view their program vs your constantly yapping, shutting down, customer alienating Checkout. Numerous times I've kindly mentioned the problem and am ignored by a dark haired female employee in Vons management @ your Hermosa Beach location. Her rudeness has prompted me to address the problem and also rate Von's Hermosa Beach location as not customer service friendly. read more

I love this store, in general, but today.... Dan, in the egg department, made my day! My 8 yr daughter just received a "book of spells" (Disney's Descendants), and the love potion calls for 2 eggs from black hens. When Dan heard this...he went for it!! He said that he knows the farmer delivers eggs from black hens on odd days, and searched.... He asked me if they should be organic, free range?? He managed to find a the perfect box of 6 organic, cage free eggs on an odd date! How fun!! My daughter was so excited, and I was cracking up at how helpful and fun Dan made our search!! Thank you, Dan!! Hope the spell works! read more

Had a great experience today at Vons with the bakery. I have a big event coming up & needed to order some cupcakes. I was helped by Jaide & boy was I glad to see her. I had a hard time deciding, but she offered suggestions & gave tips on other things I can purchase in the store to help my event be a success. I'm glad because it will save me a lot of time instead of going to so many stores. Thanks Jaide for going above & beyond to help me! I can't wait to see my cupcakes. Based on your display I'm sure everyone will enjoy them! YOU ROCK!!! read more

Every time I go here, every cashier is so miserable and rude. I'm very friendly every time and they act like they couldnt be more bothered. I've worked retail all my life and I would never act anything but friendly and helpful. read more

OK organic fruit and veggie section, but they could do better. Easy parking very nice staff.

Not a fan of this Vons. I can't stand this lot. The cashier was so awesome but if it wasn't for her it would have been a mess. Bad parking and terrible cart drivers. read more

Friendly staff, clean, nicely laid out, and fresh & plentiful variety of produce/meats/deli options/etc. Well stocked too!

A bit on the expensive side but they have a wonderful organic fruit and vegetable selection. The store is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Sofia was working the register this morning. She was providing above and beyond, excellent customer service to all clients in her line. Best service I received at a grocery store. She should be acknowledged for her hard work! read more

If you can go anywhere else on earth for groceries, do yourself a favor. Be prepared to wait in line for 30 min during hot shopping hours.

Go there only for the sandwiches which are tasty. However, if you are in a hurry (i.e. lunch hour) they take forever. I sometimes think the employees do anything to look busy and NOT have to help a customer. If you are third in line...go elsewhere. read more

Been coming here at least 3 times a week for a couple years now...friendly, clean, and convenient place to shop. The main reason I am writing this review is because they play fantastic music (from the 80's) here. I am not kidding...there have been numerous occasions that I have gone home and hopped on iTunes to download something I just heard in the store. read more

This store is always exceptionally clean and well organized. I had the most wonderful encounter today with a manager who was working the checkout lane. He was so helpful and polite. read more

I dunno about VOns itself... but the parking lot rules! After drivong around all of la and vicinity... getting lost in Compton at 2an and witnessing domestic abuse down by the Santa Monica peir, we finally found a 24 hour McDonald's and.a place to rest our heads on none other than this vons parking lot. We suspected it was cool here because the amount of cars parked including a couple of RVs and a.rape van... so we blended right into the mix of things. It was quiet and no one bothered us all night... best sleep I've had in a while. Now we are right by the beach and ready to roll on this nice day. Vons is even open 24/7 and they let is use theory bathroom too! This place rules! read more

This is my store. Me and my family have gone here for years. It is clean and the staff is amazing. Especially Austin he is amazing.

I HATE this market- Nothing is easy to find, things are constantly moved around the store, and prices fluctuate WILDLY- The beef is tough, the produce often CRAPPY- They are constantly dropping products I have bought from them for years, in favor of their own house brand, or to make room for 14 flavor variants from the competition- I am VERY happy we now have Jons on 190th, and soon will have Trader Joes as options- read more

This store is great ESPECIALLY the floral department, the buyers over there know what's up furrr surrre! However, the purpose of this review is to call out a certain manager (you know who you are), who was just ringing up my groceries and while doing so noticed that one of her employees was wearing the wrong shirt. With the biggest attitude, eye brows raised and lips pursed, scolded this young lady standing 20 ft behind me and sent her home. Working at a grocery store as a youngster was one of the most thankless, body stressing gigs that I have ever had and I can not believe that ladies' way of managing her team. That young professional is not her delinquent step child but that's how she spoke to her. Someone needs to check her! PS- no one will notice that her shirt is different than the others and I think I can speak for most people when I say that we would prefer that everyone wore what they feel good in (within reason obvi) k thx bye read more

This rating is solely for the Deli Meat & Salad Department. I went there now 4 days in a row around 5:30 pm to buy chicken wings and I always saw the same staff handling this section. Let me tell you, it takes and extra effort to work that slow while people are lined up the be served. They also perfected the art of ignoring you and basically looking tru you !!! There is no acknowledging of anybody in the line, nothing like a "we will be right with you" or a "sorry for that wait" !!! They just waddle around in their aura of "I hate my job and I let you know that I do" !!! I am very surprised, that sort of behavior I only remember for the former Albertsons on Artesia !!! read more

Everything and everyone in this store is extremely sloooooowwwww! Be prepared to spend an extra 30min dealing with anyone at the deli or checking out. Avoid this store location at all costs and go to another vons or ralphs for that matter. Will not be coming back here! read more

I only know about the sushi from Miss Nan at the Von's deli, but I can tell you it's outstanding. I love it for good value, take home no hassles. Always fresh and a beautiful display. I started eating sushi for breakfast because they have it at Vons and it's as good as any restaurant in fact better than most. Miss Nan will setup with some good Sushi! ;-) read more

This Vons has an awesome deli that makes super fantastic sandwich for lunch/dinner, and incredibly affordable breakfast burrito. I would not go anywhere else for my food! read more

I was so shocked for a Von's to be so poor quality as I experienced this week. The produce was not very fresh looking and was even more disgusted after using the public restroom. Don't think I will be going back there because of sheer gross out factor. read more

So sick of completely being ignored at the deli counter. ONE person taking care of customers while 4 or 5 are goofing off in the back. THE worst service. Today, in particular a chubby, swarthy gentleman with a messy man-bun stood right in front of me and did absolutely nothing to help me or the other 4 or 5 people waiting. They have a monopoly in our little town, and know it. read more

Freezing. Such an uncomfortable shopping experience. Maybe if they would keep it at a normal temperature people would buy more instead of rushing out! read more

Produce is pretty damn good...lots of organic stuff..overall very pleased with their produce selection. Store is clean and usually pretty well stocked. The negatives? They are always soliciting for some sort of charity and have signs on the check outs saying something to the effect of: if your checker doesn't ask you to contribute, let us know and you will get a free soft drink or something like that. I find that demeaning, irritating and just plain wrong! (I know that the personnel gets very very very tired of soliciting donations, just so corporate can make a grand presentation of how much Vons contributes to charities! Don't shop here after 9 p.m......bad service, not enough checkers and kind of a weird unhelpful vibe. And yeah....morale doesn't seem to be too high amongst the employees, except for the produce dept. The meat dept. personnel are helpful. read more

Just OK. Their meat section is very poor, not USDA Choice, but some nonsense called "Rancher Reserve". Prices on meat for this low quality is expensive. Their Web-Site of pretty good, and prices overall if an item is on sale is good. They are re-modeling, & it appears that prices have revently (5/2014) increased. Vons is the only convenient food supermarket in Hermosa Beach, and they seem to take advantage of this fact. On the positive side, they are open 24/7. read more

Always long lines and no one ever around to answer questions. It's the only place around so I go to it. When will trader Iowa open ?

The checkers here are great, as are the Starbucks baristas, but god forbid you want something from the deli. I understand that the wages the workers are paid is subhuman, but so is the service the deli provides. If you are the only one in line you will grow old waiting for your meat, if you are anything but first in line you've a better chance at seeing the next millennium than getting your order before you die, your bones turn to dust, and the world ends. The deli service is so absurdly horribad that it motivated me to Yelp about it. read more

I ask the supervisor joseph (I think ) for some toiletries because tge restroom needed to be restock. So he walked all the way you the front and made an associate come help me. On top of that what I need was right in the back where he came out of. He didn't smile or act like he cared about me as a customer. .. Just that thought I share how I feel to the company. read more

I don't know what I would do without Vons considering that I work across the street at the Hermosa Pavilion and there is not much within walking distance. I love the deli and the soups are great. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and the prices aren't that bad. The only problem is the crazy drivers in the parking lot. read more

Slow if your buying lots of gift cards but otherwise i like the people who shop here.

I avoid this store at all cost. Also, they solicit you for donations, isnt it enough that we pay a high price? I Will avoid this store and chain at all cost, rather pay more at Bristol Farm, although I am wondering if Bristol is owned by Vons or Ralphs. read more

The daytime staff at this store is excellent. However, their night crew is an entirely different story. The cheerful, service oriented checkers and baggers from the daytime are traded for zombie-like counterparts on the night shift. In the daytime, shelves are stocked, cold-cases are full, and the store is clean. At night, the soft drink cold case in the front of the store is usually empty or poorly stocked, and the shelves are running low, especially on sale items. One daytime checker, Qrystina (I believe that's how she spells it) is such a nice, smiling lady who always makes sure to greet, and engage with customers. I don't think I've ever seen her in a bad mood. On the other hand, one of the night checkers, Lev, is so abrupt and lacking personality, its almost like a corpse is ringing up the groceries. He doesn't say hello, rarely tells you the total for the bill, and never says thank you or anything. A complaint to Candace, the night manager, was brushed off, and she said checkers are not required to engage in small-talk or anything with the customer. If that's the case, then they should just get self-checkout lanes at night and save the money on labour. This location is truly bittersweet for me, and unfortunately, they're leaning far more toward the bitter side of that spectrum. 2 stars for poor management, and less-than-satisfactory service. read more

The people who work in the deli should all be fired. I generally go to the market between 8-9am. This morning the woman just completely ignored me and went about her conversation (in Spanish) with a coworker as she lazily opened a box. I finally shouted "hello" to her and she decided she could not avoid 'working' any more and scooped some broccoli salad into a container for me. Every time I go to the deli I get the same pathetic customer service so I rarely bother. What is the matter with them? Clean house and start over with people who actually want to do their job!! read more

We went to buy lobsters. The seafood cases were wide open. While looking at a tray of the lobsters, I touched a shell with my finger. A woman from behind the counter dashed out and started yelling at us not to touch the food. She kept repeating it in a loud voice causing a scene. She demanded to know which lobster I touched and I pointed to it. I bought 3 because I needed them for Christmas dinner. I know you aren't supposed to touch the food, but the embarrassing way we were treated was appalling. I definitely won't go back. read more

I am so sorry to have to give this store a low rating but shopping here for me is extremely unpleasant. This was my go to store in the late 80s but now it pains me to see how frustrating this store is to shop in. The wine, the produce, the flower/plant sections and the Starbucks are the only areas that are done well. There were at least 20 products that I could not purchase today due to the inconsistent stocking and ordering in this store. Now that my favorite Ralphs in Hermosa Beach will be closing. I need s new place to do my major shopping. It can't be this Vons. It is unfortunate because this store has such a nice location and a spacious building too. Ralphs is a smaller store but was so well organized and stocked. I am so sad to see it go. Although Trader Joe"s, which will be going into the current Ralphs location, will be nice. It isn't a store I can do all my shopping in. I like supporting my city and try to keep my business in Hermosa and will go to this Vons for a few items when I have to. But sadly, this store needs major improvements. read more

I stopped in here after dinner on the pier one night and I've never experienced such terrible service! The lines were insanely long (on a Tuesday night) and they took a very long time for every customer. read more

GREAT NEWS!!!! Ann from the Redondo Beach Albertsons is now working here. I was very said when I heard that Albertson got sold to Haggens. I could only bare going there once but Ann was still there so that is the only reason I went. To no surprise Haggens went out of business. I started shopping at Vons again. to my surprise there was ANN again. I hope Vons values her as a great employee that she is! read more

I go by the Starbucks in Vons almost every night and anytime I see the girl that works there named Krystal my name is suddenly changed. She is always so cheery and sometimes we chat for a little and it just makes my week. I love that girl and she deserves a raise honestly i'm sure they're not paying her enough for her quality social skills and customer service. If you guys ever go by Starbucks and there's a A girl was working there named Krystal tip her well because she has changed lives. read more

I like this Vons for selection and prices, but it seems that every single cashier here has zero respect for the items that the customer is purchasing. It doesn't matter if it's vegetables, eggs, fruits, or anything fragile... they all just scan it, and then without looking just haphazardly throw it down the belt to the bagger with a blatant disregard for the fact that maybe, just MAYBE I picked that avocado or that tomato because it looked perfect, and now it's got a nice big fat squishy bruise on it. And it literally happens EVERY time, with EVERY cashier here. I can't tell you how many broken eggs and how much busted up fruit I've ended up with. I just think they could at least TRY and look like they give a flying f*&k about their job. I get being busy, but when I'm spending a couple hundred bucks at your store, it would be nice to feel like you actually cared about what I was buying as much as I did. read more
