Ack! NooooOOOoo! We have a trip planned for February and I was hoping to use Vons, we used them before and loved them. Anywhere else that delivers?
I am crossing my fingers and hoping that the parent company of Albertsons doesn't immediately wipe out the Vons delivery service like they did with Albertsons a few years back. Hopefully, once the takeover/merger is complete, they will not make dramatic changes right away.
Vons is the only "real" grocery store out here that delivers from their full line of fresh, in-store products, and offers good discounts, online coupons, etc.
Well, I take that back -- I think that Bristol Farms may have dipped its toes into the grocery delivery business too, but I don't know if there are any BF stores in Anaheim, and their prices are usually crazy.
There may be some smaller delivery places in Anaheim -- I don't know if Yummy or Pink Dot have services in Orange County? -- but they are like last resorts for me, as they don't have the same array/variety of items that Vons/Safeway has, and their prices are way too high for that lack of variety.
My Vons delivery guys have said that they think they will hear something about their fate (their jobs and the fate of delivery) by the end of the year or at the start of 2015, but
hopefully nothing will happen and it will be business as usual (somewhat). Some of the drivers and in-store personnel have already begun to look for other jobs, as they don't want to be blindsided by layoffs
if those should happen.
Some of the Vons locations will have to change names or close because Albertsons is expected to be the major presence in the merger (
which would explain why, all of a sudden, I have been seeing a lot of Albertsons commercials on TV lately), and in some cases there would be Albertsons and Vons stores right across the street from each other.
