About ROY :
Simple in name and in concept, ROY is the brainchild
of Fred Roy and Nancy Olson. “Clean, Strong and Warm” is the mantra
chanted as they make the determining cuts as to what makes the
store floor and what doesn't. ROY is positioned to appeal
to tourists as well as the precious local clientele. Roy and Olson
have kept the assortment narrow so they can be in stock for those
last minute dinnerware emergencies. Backorders should be the exception
instead of the rule. The Roy/Olson team is committed to bringing
the art and craft of true artisans to their customer, and they
try to support domestic vendors whenever possible. The aesthetic
has already been a hit with most everyone that walks through the
ever-sticking front door. This plucky new store is ripe for the
picking.

About Fred Roy:
Fred has been in the design end of the tabletop industry for 24
years, most recently as the President of his own Fred Roy &
Company. In the past 4 years he has consulted and designed for
some of the highest profile companies in the world. Prior to starting
his own company, Fred was the Director of Design for Lenox/Gorham
for 15 years. With the opening of ROY , Fred will be
able to bring his designs directly to the consumer. Look for the
launch of Fred's exclusive new holiday pattern crafted of fine
bone china late spring 2005.

About Nancy Olson:
If Fred is the guru of tabletop design, then Nancy is his complement
in retail and marketing. For the past 20 years she has worked
in all aspects of big box and specialty retailing. No longer willing
to take a back seat to someone else's opinion, Nancy is ready
to launch this new concept with gusto. She is a force to be reckoned
with when it comes to the ROY vision of the future.
Coming attractions are the addition of e-commerce in the spring,
a second ROY store in Santa Fe , New Mexico and a consistent
drive to bring exclusive Fred Roy designs to her customer.
