Buehler's Fresh Foods, also known as Buehler's, is a grocery store chain founded in 1929 in New Philadelphia, Ohio, USA by Ed and Helen Buehler. In 1932, Buehler's opened its second location in Wooster, Ohio.
Today, there are thirteen Buehler's locations in the northeast quadrant of Ohio in the cities of Ashland, Coshocton, Delaware, Dover, Medina, New Philadelphia, Orrville, Wadsworth, Brunswick, and Wooster. The company is held 100% by Buehler family members under the newly-created "E&H Family Group".
The company has established themselves as a highly customer service oriented business with a heavy focus on localized products and, more recently, a strong focus on sustainability. Buehler's is the country's largest purchaser of local Amish produce and the company also sources dairy and meats from local and/or sustainable farms. Buehler's focus on sustainability is further enhanced through free, year-round community recycling stations, periodic community recycling days for hard-to-recycling products such as computers and motor oil, and "full-circle" composting products that originate from the company's waste generated through daily operations.
Buehler's has recently focused on a number of other business ventures, including Ace Hardwares and their own full-service coffee kiosks entitled Scenic River Coffee Company. The company also operates a number of in-store, full-service restaurants.
The business is currently being run by the third generation of the Buehler family with a fourth generation just recently entering the company.
