The parent company for Londis Ireland is wholesaler retail grocery franchise operator BWG Foods UC.

A 1975 name change to Allied Distributive Merchants preceded the 2005 formation of ADM Londis plc.

Changing from a legal co-operative to an unlisted public limited company in 2004, ADM Londis also claims to be the only Irish symbol group where retailers can own the company through share holdings and realise the value in their shares at market price.

[2][3] From 1998–2004, a number of petrol stations in Ireland had Londis–branded forecourt stores, as part of an agreement with Tedcastles Oil Products (TOP), a major Irish fuel retailer.

ADM Londis was acquired by BWG (owner of Spar Franchise in Ireland) in 2015 for €23m.
