36 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN FEBRUARY 2020 in Montego Bay. A new shopping center opened there and we went to look at it and we opened a new store in ’94 that did well.” When a bigger shopping center opened in Montego Bay in 2001, Bobby asked Kevin’s sister, Anne, and her husband, Ray Therrien, who had worked in the pharmaceutical business in Canada, to come to Jamaica to help run the business. “My father said we have another store opening and need some more boots on the ground, family-wise,” Kevin notes. “They came and did a fantastic job with a first-world, ethical outlook. Montego Bay did very well and grew from there.” “Wherever there’s a good location, we’re willing to go there,” Kevin adds. And so, the company continued to expand. In 2007, Fontana opened a branch at Beckford Plaza in Sav La Mar. In 2010, the Montego Bay store moved to a new 20,000-sq.-ft. location, making it the largest pharmacy in Jamaica, at the time.
