Vons

Best Vons ever!!! Cashiers are awesome! Floral lady is super nice and fast! All the Starbucks people ESPECIALLY the manager are friendly and great at their job! Can’t forget the bakery! Best cakes for the price! No complaints from me EVER!

Nice clean store and always has what I am looking for. My only recommendation is lower food prices to make it more affordable.

The question, «What keeps you coming back?» Frankly I don’t quite know for sure. As reported previously, the store has big competitors.
Selection is varied and good, greens are good. Meat selection isn’t bad. So I guess coming back is just a habit.
I will say that a some employees could use a little more training. BUt over all they try to please the customers.
In any event, improvements are always in order and that. s why my rating is 4 Stars.

I stopped in here for some produce and other groceries and was pleased to find it is like most Vons I am used to. Isles are wide and clean, products were tidy and well stocked. Only downside was the gentleman helping me in the deli seemed a bit new because he was the slowest deli helper I’ve ever been helped by. I asked for two meats cut and it must have taken ten minutes. I was going to order additional stuff but gave up because I just wanted to leave. He wasn’t sure where some of the meats were and couldn’t find the codes for some stuff. Meat was good, his attitude was friendly and polite, but timing was off. I’d stop here again if I’m in the neighborhood and need food.

Being from the east coast I didn’t expect frozen sea scallops to taste like fresh but really? This is Vons we are talking about. Cooked as I usually do (buttered, rolled in Ritz crackers and then drizzled with butter) OK my secret is out… They had a bitter and salty after taste! Huh… Would I buy them again … Absolutely NOT Looking forward to a visit to Maine this fall.

My parents wanted the deal on fried chicken, from the deli here… so I accompanied my Mom to buy chicken this past Saturday. The deal was $ 4.99 for 8 pieces of chicken with a Vons card, but of course my mom couldn’t find/​locate/​or remember if she had a Vons card (I was distracted looking at other things to offer my card)… Well, the cashier didn’t hook my mom up with another Vons card number or even offer her a new card! So, she paid $ 6.99 for chicken that she reported tasting old and awful.
One star for poor customer service and quality of food at the deli. Sorry-​not-​so-​sorry.

This bakery is a joke!!! I ordered a round cake for my daughters birthday, I asked for «Frozen» colors, which to me means light blue, lavender, maybe a light pink. Instead I get hot pink and dark blue. It has got to be the ugliest cake I have ever seen. I told the bakery clerk and she argued with me saying that those are the Frozen colors. I begrudgingly take the cake because I needed it for that night… I will never order a cake here again.

I recently moved from ventura to oxnard so I had to find a new vons. Luckily this place is right by my house, unfortunatly it is a horrible vons. I have yet to find a nice employee and the lines are always long. Because if this I still shop at the ones in ventura and only go to this location when I absolutely have to.

Horrible service from worker «VERONICA» someone of her age should know manners because every item I purchased was tossed in my grocery bags. Who acts like this? Well my 4 year old does, funny!

I shop at the Victoria Ave Vons about twice a month when staying in the Channel Islands area. I wish there was a better alternative in the neighborhood, because Vons is not a pleasant shopping experience.
The parking lot was illogically designed. I have witnessed many near-​miss accidents in the lot. I often park on the other side of the lot to avoid getting «dinged.» Likewise, this lot is poorly maintained, with shopping carts all over the place. I often see Vons employees walking right by stray carts without collecting them. «It isn’t my job» would likely be the response. No pride in the appearance of the facility whatsoever.
While a few of the employees are efficient and friendly, the majority are indifferent and sloppy. I often see staff members hanging out, smoking and cursing in the front of the store. They sometimes leave cigarette butts. No pride.
The store itself is clean and well-​organized, with good-​looking produce and baked goods. However, the prices are very high. I can’t stand the customer loyalty program requiring a personalized computer profile; once you fill out the profile, they send you the coupons via email. So much work! I also hate the personalized coupons printed out at the check stand… environmentally a big no-​no.
I always go through the self-​check out lanes because the double-​conveyor-​belts at the checker stands annoy me. My bread and produce get smooshed and bruised if the bagger isn’t zippy.
I am starting to make the trek North of the 101 to Trader Joe’s…better items, better service, better prices.

In all honesty, I only come to this Vons because it’s convenient location (I have to take either Victoria ave., or Harbor blvd. to get anywhere I need to go on any given day).
I live for self checkout because, you know, sometimes you just don’t wanna make small talk.
& the in-​store Starbucks is a God-​send. Granted that this leech-​Starbucks spot (as opposed to the many stand-​alone location sporadically located around town) doesn’t honor every single deal/​offer as advertised because they’re just a «mini» store, the baristas are generally so much more hospitable, in regards to their customer service skills, & more importantly, with their drink making (sorry, drink «crafting» if you’re the real technical type).
There’s always parking, like seriously, any time of the day/​night, or day of the week.
& when it comes that time of the year, the Girl Scouts hang out in the store front with their cookies.

Its big, clean, and conveniently located. Ill come here when i need to grab a couple of quick things they didnt have at costco and dont want to drive to that new winco.
Also the fact they have a starbbucks here is pretty convenient.

On a Saturday morning at 11 a.m. you don’t have change for a $ 100 at your register and then act put out to the customer about it? Not the first time this has happened here, either… lame. I unloaded my cart, then got up to the cashier, who’d posted a little sign on the card scanner saying «no change at this register»…she got alllll flustered about what to do when I gave her my $ 100 bill and actually said «Well, I posted a SIGN.» Her solution…“Well, I hope you like 5’s”

Clean. Large. Quick. The part that knocked off points was the fact that the liqour is in the front of the store, and you have to check out before you buy it. My best friend lives nearby and I only stop in when I’m in town, but I spent a good 15 minutes walking around the entire store, let alone the ‘wine and beer’ area triple blinking my eyes and second guessing myself. Maybe this is a part of a law, or result of liqour control in the city, but I think it is dumb. Also, occasionally when it is not busy, you can walk right up to the front booze shelving and grab whatever you want, defeating the purpose of having the Cashier Clerk check your ID first. Backwards. I just don’t get it. Poor management or store politics, I say.
Everything else is normal about this Vons. OK staff, grocery store food, and so on.

I am new to the area was at first disturbed by what I thought were high prices. I joined the «loyalty group,» Von’s Just for You (I think that’s what it’s called), and as much as I hate such programs I do save money am used to the game. The store is clean, attractive, well organized, and the employees are helpful
And upbeat. The produce section is great, as is the bakery, and we find good buys on meat. It’s becoming my «go to» place.
Am shopping here less. The produce department needs to be better organized. Prices are often not clearly indicated. I am really getting tired of the loyalty program. Wish they would just have some good prices without the hassle.

Best Vons this side of Thousand Oaks. This place is huge, clean, friendly, and well stocked. The employees have been around for a long time and it’s nice to see familiar faces at a corporate grocery store which is rare. This is one of the few places in Oxnard that doesn’t attract bad crowds and weirdos.

Alright, so I’ve been coming to this Vons for almost 3 years now for the sandwiches and shopping… it has always been a little iffy… but recently things have been AWESOME! They truly make the best sandwiches anywhere… better than Jersey Mikes, Subway, anywhere! And it’s not because it’s Vons… it’s because the people who make the sandwich know how the customers like them… now where can you get that anymore??? It’s been awesome. The store is always clean. In the beginning I had some difficulty with service from this store… but now it’s like everyone is there to help and the Manager is super friendly and helpful! :) A+++

Five stars for the freshness of fruits and vegetables. Come to think of it, their fried chicken and potato salad have saved us during impromptu boating trips.

This place is in Oxnard on Ventura Avenue in that Sea Side Bridge shopping mall I think? Nice shopping center BEAUTIFUL store! When you go in it feels soo nice, not a rough area! I love the little Starbucks station there even though it doesn’t have the same variety as a normal Starbucks coffee shop does, it has a nice vibe and just makes you wanna chill out and spend your whole day there, and also there’s a nice sitting area nearby which is perfect for relaxing before you begin shopping.
The pre-​cooked food there is decent, much better than the Ralph’s Market! I love the selection of wines, and it has so much nice food there, and with the Vons club card it’s not that expensive. Today I filled our house with groceries for only $ 85. I prefer Food for Less for my grocery shopping because the prices are much better and the vegetables and produce are wonderfully fresh, especially for their prices, I also goo the 99cent store for my veggies as well, but I come here when I don’t want to drive around a lot and I’m willing to send a whole day there because it’s a lovely shopping center and there are nifty ways to save money there.

Oxnard Von 909.
This is a standard Von’s. It’s brand spanking new and massive inside. It’s a welcome addition to a part of Oxnard that doesn’t get much love.
During all of my visits here, I noticed that the package clerks and checkers were more interested in gossiping and chatting than getting customers out of the store quickly. BIGtime annoyance.
The place is clean and full of dewds that look like the should be riding their motorcycles in the 909.
Don’t half step. This is the best place to stop if you are heading to the Channel Islands from Ventura Harbor.
