Vons is a supermarket chain that operates supermarkets under the Vons and Pavilion banners.
Vona was founded by Charles Von der Ahe as Von’s Groceteria in 1906 in Los Angeles, California.
By 1928 Vons had grown to 87 stores.
Vons has gone through several acquisitions and is owned today by Safeway Inc., a leading U.S. grocery chain.
Safeway acquired an ownership stake in Vons in 1988 as part of the sale of most of its supermarkets in southern California and southern Nevada. Safeway acquired full control of the company in 1997 and has since then operated Vons as a subsidiary.
In a 2018 survey, Vons beat out popular grocery chains, like Whole Foods, and was named best place to shop by vegans and vegetarians, according to Businessweek.
The supermarket chain has 193 stores in California and another 20 locations in Nevada.
While some Vons locations are closing, new stores are still being opened, such as this one in Camarillo, California.
A store employee who was assaulted three times in three months was fired after he asked about workers’ compensation to see a therapist in 2023. He has filed a lawsuit against Vons.
Vons maintains a corporate office in Pleasanton, California.
