Brian continued, “Our beginnings were really modest, but also auspicious and magical. We started in 1954 with five workers in a small garage in Woodside, Queens, in the shadow of the 59th Street Bridge. Our sales in 1954 were $124,206. 58 and our pre-tax profit was $877. 38 (you see, we’ve had a “trick” to make money). We paid $226. 21 in taxes that year. At first, my mother, the daughter of a World War I hero who fought in The Trenches, would come to do the bookkeeping in a closet at the back of the establishment. He hand-wrote Park. Era’s first invoice for GE Schenectady for $300.
Brian added, “Jerry and Tony’s purpose in creating Park was to create something different and special. . . to achieve something great. . . achieve greatness. It’s his legacy. They weren’t interested in mediocrity.
Brian concluded, “Jerry and Tony sacrificed so much for us, overcame so many obstacles, and persisted through so many dark days when things seemed hopeless for us. We will be deeply grateful to Jerry and Tony for all they have done for us and for leaving us a legacy of unwavering and uncompromising determination toward greatness. We owe everything we have and everything we are to our beloved founders, Jerry Shore and Tony Chiesa. Thank you, Jerry and Tony.
