Vons Gas Station

Great prices which is needed on the central coast as prices are high in slo. The station is easy on and off if you turn west through the parking lot and go to the light. Otherwise you will need to make two u-​turns to get back on the 101.

I always stop here as I travel home from LA and love it. Just now, not so much. Waited for the restroom for 20 minutes, jiggled door handle, knocked, and got no response. I asked the clerk if he could check to see if someone is in there, he said «if it’s locked someone’s in there it doesn’t lock from the outside»…well no shit, but either someone locked it and closed it or maybe someone’s hurt and he just said can’t help you sorry. Really? You work here! I really hope someone wasn’t hurt in there.

I have a problem with bad customer service on top of a mistake bad the the employee. Mark, everyone knows MARK at Vons gas, the slowest cashier there And the on that makes the most mistakes. Well today was the FINAL straw. My bf goes in to get gas, clearly says FIFTEEN, 15… and what does mark do, he charges our debit card for FIFTY 50! Unreal. Never repeated back the transaction or anything, so after waiting in line behind two ppl and mark taking forever my bf walks out to pump gas and gets called back in by mark saying the card was denied. Blah blah. Knowing I didn’t have 50 on my card, I put FIFTEEN in and got over charged for gas with money I didn’t have. Mark has NO CLUE what to do. So another employee walks in Kyle, and fails to help as well, trying to tell him to calm down, excuse me its money we don’t have that u made a mistake for. End of story both employees were rude and helpless and ROBBY the manager saved the day with a full refund for the over draft and problem!

You’re heading up the coast, cautiously concerned if your gas will get you far enough. My Costco and Sam’s Club memberships do me no good until you are significantly further south in Camarillo. They lack gas stations. So, yep, San Luis Obispo is ahead, I know I can make it. But then again, the minute you get near to SLO, the gas prices go ominously up. Sticker shock for gas in SLO is inevitable. Not fair.
So I discovered a great alternative. This town of Nipomo is a great place to make your well planned gas stop. Shhhh, don’t tell the others!
South of SLO, yet close enough for government work, you can save a bundle. If you are a Vons Club member (not hard to be), all you need to do is insert your phone number to get a decent discount on the still relatively low posted price. This can save you a great deal, the membership gives the discount plus the advantage of an already small town price. The store/​gas station is relatively invisible to the 101 freeway, but it is also quite close and convenient, easy access. I know, I checked out the SLO competition on the same day I bought here. We are talking a savings of up to 50 – 60 cents a gallon for me that day as compared to SLO prices.
My only (OCD) complaint is, there is no system in place to direct cars to a single organized entry point. Currently, cars are entering from either direction to get to the pumps. This means cars oftentimes are face to face, glaring at each other, blocking free flowing traffic and showing no respect for queues. Vons, you need to address this issue, if only to keep people from having a melt down.

Being a Von’s Club member I use this gas station constantly due to the discounts u get when buying food at the store. The employees r very courteous and friendly but seem to always work at a slow pace. Cons always has the cheapest gas prices in Nipomo and the downside of that is there is always a line of cars to get gas and the parking lot is very small so it’s a very clustered gas station except for a few hours a day. I wish they pumped Diesel as well. ³⁄₅ stars

Really about as good as it gets when it comes to gas stations. You can get up to 10¢ off a gallon with your Vons card plus the prices are competitive to begin with.
