In 1928, Van opened his first eating establishment in Wewoka, OK - a simple little BBQ place he ran before moving to Shawnee. On June 5, 1930 he opened his first Van's Pig Stand in a building across from the current building. Then, in 1935, he moved across the street to the current location at 717 E. Highland Street. He has operated from this location continuously from that day on. He currently has another location in Shawnee, plus one in Norman, Moore and Oklahoma City.

Van's specializes in his signature Pig Sandwich, but also has a full menu of BBQ delights, plus hamburgers, ribs and a kids menu. A trip to Shawnee must include a meal at Van's.
