Buehler's Fresh Foods, also known as Buehler's, is a grocery store chain founded in 1929 in New Philadelphia, Ohio, US, by Ed and Helen Buehler. In 1932, Buehler's opened its second location in Wooster, Ohio.
Contents
The company is focused on local and sustainable products. Buehler's is the largest purchaser of local Amish produce at the Mt. Hope Auction. 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.
The business is currently being run by the third generation of the Buehler family, with a fourth generation just recently entering the company.
Other Business Ventures
Buehler's parent company, E&H Family Group, has recently focused on a number of other business ventures, including owning and operating several (19) Ace Hardware stores. They are also focused on their own full-service coffee kiosks titled Scenic River Coffee Company, located inside seven of their stores. The company also operates a number of in-store, full-service restaurants.
Locations
Today, there are currently thirteen Buehler's locations in the northeast quadrant of Ohio in the cities of: Ashland, Canton, Coshocton, Dover, Green, Massillon, Medina, New Philadelphia, Orrville, Wadsworth, and Wooster. Medina, and Wooster both have two Buehler's within their city limits. The company is held 100% by Buehler family members under the parent company, "E&H Family Group".
