UPDATE: Jo (PB owner) fell yesterday morning before the re-opening of the food truck and broke her hip. She underwent surgery yesterday afternoon and is now resting comfortably at the hospital.

Jo is scheduled to be released from the hospital late today, or maybe tomorrow. She thanks everyone for their prayers and support and looks forward to seeing you in a few weeks. A new date to re-open PB has not been decided upon yet, but we will keep you posted.

Thank you!
