St. Joseph Drugstore

Founded in 1958 by pharmacist Jose "Pepe" Cruz of Dagupan City and his wife Leila Lagman of Pampanga, this modest and pious couple built a company that very few at that time would have thought, much less expect, to grow to what it is today. But with an enduring faith in God and an unbounded entrepreneurial spirit, St. Joseph Drugstore has grown from a small, regional-based drugstore operation to a promising national chain store. Starting with three employees in a 3.5 meters store frontage, St. Joseph Drugstore has seen its reach spread all across Luzon, from the far confines of the Ilocos Region and La Union, to the upper reaches of Baguio City and the Cordilleras and today to the vast plains of Central Luzon.
