A steady stream of votes throughout the week catapulted Whole Foods to victory in our latest Readers' Choice poll for best local grocery store.

The health-conscious Godwin Ave. chain led the way with 27 of 75 votes. Independent grocer Kilroy's in Glen Rock placed second, with 18 votes. Kings and Stop & Shop each trailed with 15 votes a pop.

Thanks to all the businesses that participated in the poll:

• Kilroy's, 288 Rock Rd., Glen Rock
• King's Supermarkets, 112 N. Maple Ave., Ridgewood
• Super Stop & Shop, 175 Franklin Ave., Ridgewood
• Whole Foods, 44 Godwin Ave., Ridgewood

About a month ago we kicked off the Readers' Choice feature, a polls asking Patch fans to get vocal about their favorite local businesses in the Ridgewood and Glen Rock area. Each week we come up with a fresh, new category on which readers can vote.

Previous Readers' Choice winners include Mac Murphy's, RoCCa, and The Little School of Waldwick.

What will we choose next week? Visit Patch on Monday, March 26, to find out.
