Winner, Winner, Big-Beef Dinner

Buehler’s awards shoppers summer-giveaway prizes

Wooster, OH – August 2017 – As soon as the weather started to sizzle, the team at Buehler’s Fresh Foods created a sizzling giveaway to go along with it, and one lucky winner received a year’s supply of tasty, premium beef.

Pat Sippel, of Dover, could not have anticipated that the start of her 80th year would begin with Certified Angus Beef ® brand steaks for a year, but it sure did. After Buehler’s final drawing on July 11, 13 lucky shoppers received Weber Spirit® 310 gas grills, and Sippel was announced the grand-prize winner.

“It’s an unexpected thrill,” Sippel said while meeting staff members from Buehler’s and Certified Angus Beef LLC. “I’ve felt very blessed in this life, and this is just icing on the cake.”

Sippel added that she plans to share her juicy winnings with family – the perfect way to celebrate multiple birthdays.

The contest, which began on May 31, allowed Buehler’s customers to enter a grill giveaway – for the chance to win a grill or steaks for a year.

The giveaway went along with the “Grilling Item of the Week” promotion, which included a Certified Angus Beef ® brand item, from burger patties to bone-in strip steaks, each week at a valued price in order to get people excited about the summer grilling season.

“I think it’s a win-win for Buehler’s, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand and, most importantly, our customers,” says Karen Brenner, a member of Buehler’s marketing department.

Designed to promote supermarket employees and demonstrate a superior core customer service skill, the statewide competition has been held by OGA annually. Contestants are judged by speed of bagging, proper bag-building technique, weight distribution in the bag, as well as style, attitude and appearance, and are chosen through statewide competitions over the course of last year.

“The OGA puts on a fun event and we love to participate every year. We’ve been fortunate enough to have won this competition three years in a row in addition to the national championship this February in Las Vegas. It’s nice to be able to say that our baggers are the best in the state as well as the country” said Dan Shanahan, the President of Buehler’s Fresh Foods.
