History
In the early sixties, the parents of John R. Phillips owned and operated a restaurant in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. After his father became ill, John began to help his mother with the restaurant. He began picking up food and other supplies in downtown Pittsburgh. By 1970, John saw potential in building a supply service. He rented warehouse space in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania and started Fountain Products. By 1975, John had a large customer base providing food service equipment, smallwares, and cleaning supplies. Additionally, he began designing and providing consultations for the food service industry. John and his family have persevered through the years making Fountain Products what it is today.
