The history of A.S. Watson dates back to 1828, with the opening of the Canton Dispensary. The small dispensary was formed as a clinic providing free medical services to the poor people of Canton or the southern Chinese province of Guangdong.

In 1858, Alexander Skirving Watson joined the Hong Kong Dispensary as Manager, with responsibility for the dispensing side of the business in 1860 when his uncle Dr Thomas Boswell Watson became major partner. At the death of Dr T. B. Watson in 1861, Hong Kong Dispensary was leased to A.S. Watson and two other doctors, and from 1862 onwards, the name A.S. Watson was featured prominently with Hong Kong Dispensary. In 1871, the Watson family leased the company to Dr John David Humphreys and Dr Arthur Hunt, and thereafter trading was executed under the name A.S. Watson & Company. Retail outlets were known as "Watson's The Chemist".

The current owners, Hutchison Group, acquired a controlling interest in A.S. Watson & Co., Ltd. in 1963. In 1981, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited. At this time, the group had 75 retail outlets.

Established in 1967 at the old WELD, Guardian made its debut as a humble 200 sq feet store offering mainly health and personal care products as well as pharmacy services to the expatriate community.

In the 1970s, Guardian pioneered the concept of modern retail pharmacy, opening stores as large as 13,000 sq feet. It began its expansion trail in the early 1980s and has never looked back since.

A truly 'Made in Malaysia ' company, it has weathered many business challenges through the years. Today Guardian operates a network of 142 stores nationwide, employs 1,000 employees and is still growing!
