History

Founding and growth

Buehler Foods was founded in 1940 by Gabe and Marge Buehler, who opened their first grocery store in Jasper, Indiana. The family-owned company subsequently expanded across southern Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, operating its supermarkets primarily under the Buehler's Buy-Low name.

By 2004, Buehler Foods operated 28 Buehler's Buy-Low supermarkets in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, as well as 21 Save-A-Lot stores in several states. Buy-Low locations were full-service supermarkets ranging from approximately 25,000 to 70,000 square feet and included departments such as pharmacies, bakeries and floral departments.
