Happy Grandparents Day From Buehler Companies!

Grandparents Day is a very special time. It’s about remembering the ones you have lost and embracing the ones that you have.

We know that many of our employees are grandparents. Grandparents are the BEST simply because they do not make you do homework and they are always waiting around the corner with sweets when your mom and dad aren’t looking.

On Sunday September 12th, remember your grandparents and all the wonderful things they have done. And to all of the people we have here that are grandparents, Buehler Companies wishes you a safe and wonderful Grandparents Day!

Grandmas and Grandpas are everything nice. Like presents and candy and raspberry ice. And chocolate fudge sundaes, with cherries on top. And popcorn and peanuts and grape soda pop. In winter or summer, in rain or in sun, Grandmas and Grandpas are wonderful fun!!! - By Unknown Author

Remembering Nine-Eleven


Buehler Companies takes a moment of silence to remember the hero’s and victims of the Nine-Eleven (9/11) attacks this Patriot Day. In memory of the 2,993 people killed in New York Cities Twin Towers.

This is a day where Buehler will fly the American flag at half-staff and observe a moment of silence beginning at 6:46 am MST which is the time that the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Both buildings collapsed within two hours.


The victims, the firefighters and those that have risked their own lives to save others will be remembered and honored. Please take the time to remember those we have lost this Patriot Day.

Live Strong! Buehler Moving Supports Cancer Research

Being in business since 1912, Buehler Companies has experienced some extremely close knit relationships with our clients. Throughout the years, we have seen many customers come and many customers go to the horrible tragedy of Cancer.

One in three people will contract Cancer, and one in four people will die from the disease. In the recent months, two of our valuable clients and friends have been diagnosed with different forms of Cancer.

Our friends are not the only people in the world that are struggling with the fight of Cancer. There are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and grandparents and even the families that suffer alongside them. They are people that we love and care about and people that we support in the fight. Cancer affects everyone.

Buehler Companies, in lieu of our own personal tragedies as well as our past, present and future client’s battles, has made a special donation to raise our hands in support of living strong. In our part to support the cause, we have purchased all employees the official LIVESTRONG bracelet.

The proceeds benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation that supports over 28 million people to improve the lives of people that are affected by Cancer.

Live strong. Beat Cancer!

On Friday September 3rd during the employee barbecue, we will all have our photo taken in front of a Buehler Companies truck with our hands held up to proudly display our bracelets. This photo along with the story will be submitted to On the Move and displayed on the Buehler Companies Blog, Twitter and Facebook.

The photo will be taken before lunch is served since we don’t want stained shirts after we pig out. Please plan to attend at 11:30 am for the photo.
