Photo of Chris Chan loading up packaged bouquets of Valentine's Day orders that he is delivering. Roy’s Florist is one of the oldest stores in the West End. It was opened in 1955 by Roy and Ron Kaita, taking the name of the elder brother as is the Japanese custom. Sixty-seven years later, and six years after Roy’s death, that original sign still buzzes, and Roy’s is as busy as ever with Valentine’s Day coming up. Ben Waldman story. Feb 14, 2022
