Our History

Over fifty years ago, Bobby and Angela Chang opened a shop that is today Jamaica’s Leading Pharmacy Chain.Their first shop, destroyed by fire, turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it had an impact beyond Jamaica and even reached international territory.When the Changs were informed that a shopping center in Mandeville had some available shops, they applied for four. After reaching an agreement with the shopping center's owner, the Changs’ journey with Fontana began.Born to a Jamaican woman and Chinese man, the businessman acquired his entrepreneurial skills at a young age. Despite the setback of his first shop, he and his wife remained resilient and determined. The inspiration for the name of the business came to Chang from a nearby fountain and the birth of his sixth child, Anne. He cleverly incorporated part of the word "fountain" and his daughter's name to create "Fontana." Today, Anne is the CEO of the establishment.
