About Us
Where it all began
Stonehouse was established in early 2000, but the network has a history that encompasses more than 60 years of proudly serving the Irish retail market. Stonehouse is a product of the merger of Keencost Centres (Ireland), which has been trading since 1975 and the National Wholesale Groceries Alliance, which was established in 1961.

Rooted in our family heritage Stonehouse Group is a network of 18 Independent Wholesale, Cash & Carry and Distribution Centre’s with a network of 21 outlets nationwide.

What we promise
Progressive business leading the way in FMCG & Wholesale
As Stonehouse approaches its 25th year in business, it’s a huge milestone for the group, a consequence of uniting businesses with the great vision of becoming the leading Independent Wholesale & Distribution solution in the Irish market. This was realised when a number of Independent businesses united together, local, family oriented with a vision of becoming the leading Wholesale & Distribution Group in the Irish market.

We also have a willingness from suppliers who support and work with Stonehouse to achieve distribution in the market, which is an area the group steadily invest and grow.
