PARIS, TX – A new food truck park opened today offering several food trucks throughout the day ranging from BBQ, Burgers, and even ginger beer and kombucha!

The couple responsible for The Slab is Pam and John Swilley who are eParisExtra’s next Paris Pair. The Swilley family are from East Lone Oak in Lamar County.

John and Pam’s story begins at a Sonic Drive-In where John “begged Pam to go on a date with him.”

“I was actually dating someone else at the time, but John was pretty persistent so I broke it off with my boyfriend and I took John up on his offer,” said Pam.

The two got married not long later, and three years later came oldest son Brandon who now works as a Medical Engineer in Greenville with L3.  When Brandon was three they introduced their youngest son, Steven, into the world and that completed the Swilley family!

Steven now lives in Austin with his girlfriend Misty Klein who is also from Paris.

What started as a family trip to visit Steven and Misty has turned into a new vision for Paris! The Swilley’s have opened The Slab at 2305 Clarksville Street near Paris Junior College.
