HENDERSON GROUP

The Henderson Group is a family owned, progressive business consisting of four companies under the Henderson name - Henderson Wholesale, Henderson Retail, Henderson Group Property and Henderson Foodservice. Hendersons began in the retail grocery business back in 1897 selling butter, cheese, and eggs at premises in the Old Lodge Road in Belfast. Throughout the years, the business expanded as did the range of products it sold. With the belief that small independent wholesalers and retailers would fail unless they could compete with the growth of multiple retailing, the business took on the SPAR franchise in 1961, becoming the first group wholesaler in Northern Ireland.
