Roys, as residents known it, is perhaps the most popular store in El Cenizo. In part, this is because Roy's is the only store in El Cenizo that sells meat. Roys is also popular because of the wide selection found in his store, the fact that he gives credit, and the location of a restaurant in back of the store.
