One of two Buehler's Fresh Foods locations in Wooster, Ohio.

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 fifteen Buehler's locations in the northeast quadrant of Ohio in the cities of Ashland, Coshocton, Delaware, Dover, Medina, New Philadelphia, Orrville, Wadsworth, Brunswick, Green and Wooster. The company announced plans to close its Delaware store in 2016.[2] The company is held 100% by Buehler family members under the newly created "E&H Family Group".

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 Hardwares 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]
