Buehler’s Fresh Foods will be closed on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, to allow employees a day to rest and enjoy time with their families. The decision comes days after Buehler’s announced a $250,000 employee appreciation pay.

Dan Shanahan, President and CEO of Buehler’s Fresh Foods said that it’s a perfect time for a little breather for all of our dedicated employees and their families.

Buehler’s Fresh Foods grocery store was founded in 1929 by E.L. Buehler and his wife, Helen. The family moved the business in 1932 to Wooster, and, after four generations, grew to 13 stores serving the northeast Ohio market. In 2017, Buehler’s became an ESOP (employee stock ownership program) with the belief that selling to their own employees was the best way to assure the continuation of the innovative and creative spirit which made the chain a benchmark for independent grocers.

Buehler’s Fresh Foods announces that it will be giving over $250,000 in appreciation pay to all employees as they continue to work during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The appreciation pay will be retroactive to Sunday, March 15th and continue through April 18th. Buehler’s has also made a commitment to retain all 227 restaurant employees that were affected by the temporary restaurant closures and reassigned them to other departments throughout the store.
“Over the last three weeks the character of our employees has shown through and made a lasting impression on all the customers who rely on us, new customers, suppliers and other stakeholders who are connected to us. This has manifested itself with countless individual examples too numerous to name. Our people are truly inspirational and we are thrilled that we are able to pay this bonus.” said Dan Shanahan, President and CEO of Buehler’s Fresh Foods.

To our Valued Customers,

At Buehler’s, we are committed to keeping our customers and employees safe.  With that in mind, we have tasked a team of employees to meet regularly and closely monitor the current situation with Coronavirus or COVID-19.  The team is monitoring all CDC and WHO communication and working with local, state and federal agencies as well as our suppliers, industry share groups, the Ohio Grocer’s Association and the National Grocer’s Association to gain a clear understanding of virus control procedures. Any and all good ideas and best practices are considered and implemented quickly by our team.

Our company has a long history of protecting customers by practicing safe sanitation procedures. Many of our employees working in key areas have received certified training through the ServSafe Food and Beverage safety training program. Employees also practice proper use of gloves and proper handwashing techniques. It is our priority to make sure our employees are in compliance with these guidelines. We have also implemented additional safety measures including discontinuing the use of self-serve demos and increased sanitation of surfaces throughout the store. One such example is our wiping down of shopping cart handles frequently throughout the day.

Buehler’s is committed to the safety and well-being of our employees. We are encouraging sick employees to stay home. We are also providing them with up to date information about the virus and resources to better understand personal time off benefits, short term disability rules and related HR policies. Through our online Dayforce System, we are able to communicate with video daily to all our employees.   

We are working diligently with our suppliers to stay in-stock on the products that are most important to you. We will continue to work around the clock to provide customers with key items including pantry stock-up essentials and cleaning supplies.

It is a privilege to serve you and something that we never take for granted.
