Vons

Ok. What can one say about a supermarket in the United States especially Los Angeles? Well it obviously depends on the buyer for the store. This Vons/Pavillions seems to have quite a smattering of everything. There is a US Bank office small change machine, outdoor furniture, a pharmacy, a reasonable ethnic foods section, personal care has a wide selection of new and the usual products. They cater to Vegan and gluten free crowds. The bakery is quite good. All in all I feel a supermarket should inspire one to cook. Not leave one flat and zeroing in on preprocessed meals. The leading cause of diabetes obesity and all that follows. I am by nature not a huge enthusiast of shopping. That being said I was there for 4 hrs lost in awe. Ralph's in La Crescenta so far is number 1 in inventiveness and late hours but this runs a close 2nd. Parking is always available. Safe and has a self check out if inclined. Yep. I'll be back. Though Albertsons takes the prize for those back of store discounted by 50% miscellaneous stuff...still bloody expensive at times considering the discount but worthy of finding all that stuff you do and dont really need. Good job Pavillions though I havent been to the rarefied air of west Los Angeles for yonks. It may be a case of being up in them there hills too long. And no I dont keep a 3 eyed child in the basement because I married my brother! We are civilized and even my neighbour is a stuntman at Universal. It's a preference or familiar area to live in these them there foothills. Remember, the real snakes are People. Have fun spending! I still cant justify $6.00 for a loaf of good bread. But alas, we pay it....overhead and wages and all that.....hugs Stephie April 2023.

It's a nice place to shop. Clean, friendly, and has a pharmacy. Bakery inviting and deli makes great sandwiches. Only downside for me is they have cut back on the amount of gluten free products they carry, but then, they carry more than their competitors.
