P & B was started by four immigrants from a small island in Croatia called Susak. John, Vito, Steve, & Nicola Picinic (all with the same last name, but not related) decided to set aside $20.00 per week to open up a business of their own and live the true "American Dream"! With the money they saved thy purchased an acre of land in Hoboken, NJ. They opened a one-bay shop where they did Truck & Trailer Repairs for local businesses.
