About

Vons at 868 Orange Avenue is Coronado Island's full-service supermarket, carrying fresh produce, USDA-graded meats, a seafood counter, a full-service bakery, a deli, and the Safeway SELECT private-label line of more than 1,200 items in the 92118 ZIP. A 2022 expansion into the adjacent former Coramart building added square footage, new refrigeration cases, and a public restroom to a store that had operated in its original footprint for decades, with the remodel completing under store manager Scott Thompson's 36-year tenure with the Safeway-Albertsons chain. The in-store pharmacy fills prescriptions and administers immunizations, and the bakery department handles custom cake orders and order-ahead trays that serve the same event-planning pipeline as Clayton's Bakery & Bistro further up Orange Avenue. DriveUp & Go curbside pickup and same-day grocery delivery extend the store's reach to Coronado Beach picnic provisioning, Coronado Cays households, and military families at Naval Air Station North Island who order online rather than shop in-aisle. Services include a Coinstar kiosk, Western Union transfers, a USAA ATM, key cutting, AmeriGas propane exchange, and a lottery terminal, consolidating errands that island residents would otherwise route across the Coronado Bridge. For bulk-format purchasing without a membership fee, Smart & Final Extra! on B Avenue stocks club-sized cases alongside single-unit grocery items four blocks from Hotel Del Coronado. The floral department operates under the Vons Floral banner, producing bouquets, arrangements, and wedding flowers from the same Orange Avenue address that anchors Coronado shopping for everyday groceries.
