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.[1]
Today, there are currently fourteen Buehler's locations in the northeast quadrant of Ohio in the cities of Ashland, Brunswick, 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 the parent company, "E&H Family Group".
On January 4th, 2016, Buehler's announced through a press release its intention to permanently close its Delaware store, located at 800 West Central Avenue, Delaware, Ohio. In that release, Buehler's stated that the anticipated closing date would be mid-to-late February, 2016 and cited competition in the Delaware market and failed turn-around initiatives as the main reason for the closure. The store marks the first closure of a store, not relating to a move, in the company's history. The Delaware store officially closed on February 13th, 2016, affecting 131 employees.[2]
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.
Buehler's has recently focused on a number of other business ventures, including Ace Hardware and their own full-service coffee kiosks entitled Scenic River Coffee Company located inside seven of their stores. 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.[3]

The history of the retail chain is a study in longevity. After hiring three clerks in the New Philadelphia store, the Buehlers opened their second store at 120 E. Liberty St., in Wooster in 1932. The store moved to the 100 block of North Market Street in 1947 and to its current location at 336 N. Market St. in 1951. Additional locations were added in Dover in 1941, Orrville in 1959, Medina in 1964 and 1992, Coshocton in 1968, Delaware in 1969 and Wadsworth in 1975. In 1974, the office and warehouse moved from the downtown Wooster store to Old Mansfield Road. The Wooster Milltown store was built in 1980 and expanded nine years later.
