In 1936 an appliance dealer and repair shop called Royol opened in Freeport, NY. At some point in the 1960s or 1970s the name changed to Willig-Royol. The location is now called C&C Appliance, but you can still see "Royol" in a sidewalk sign at the entrance to the store.
Here is an advertisement for the store from 1952:
