PROFILE |
 |
The Vons Companies shares Southern California's crowded dinner table with some big and hungry rivals. The company has nearly 330 stores in Central and Southern California, which is also home to Ralphs (owned by Kroger) and a number of Albertson's stores. Its stores (also in Nevada) operate under the names Vons (traditional supermarkets) and Pavilions (upscale supermarkets). More than half of its stores offer separate service departments for floral, bakery, and deli products, while some have full-service pharmacies and dry-cleaning departments. The company operates its own facilities for producing milk, ice cream, and baked goods. Safeway, the #3 US grocery chain (after #1 Kroger and #2 Albertson's), owns Vons.
