I see that Shop Rite came in first place as best grocery store. I LOVE Shop Rite... and one of the hardest decisions about moving up to this area was the fact that there is NOT one conveniently around. West Milford, Wayne, Lincoln Park - they are just all too far. Since it won as the best - maybe we should have someone INVEST and open one up.. everyone loves Shop Rite.
