A Big Anniversary on The Avenue of Glendora Village

            Carol Gill has come a long way from doing cut lace work and selling hand-sewn garments at craft fairs.

            Twenty years ago she took that experience along with her career in fashion merchandising and opened Undercovers Intimate Apparel in Glendora Village.

 

Carol Gill is celebrating the 20th anniversary of
Undercovers Intimate Apparel in October.

            Back in 1994, Gill kept hearing women’s complaints that they couldn’t find the right lingerie products or helpful service.

            “In this market, you’re either just selling bras or you’re ‘le sex shoppe’ with lingerie offerings,” Gill observed. “Undercovers has become a ‘comfort store,’ because my customers are looking for more than just underwear.”

            Now she’s planning festivities to celebrate the store’s 20th anniversary:

            20/20 drawing – She’ll  be giving away a $20 gift certificate each day for 20 days beginning Thursday, Oct. 3 through Oct. 22. Registration for the drawings begins tomorrow, Oct. 1; stop by each day and enter, no purchase necessary.

            Oct. 12, 8:30-10 a.m. – Silhouette Breakfast: Discover how to flatter your figure with line and design. Learn your personal body balance and tricks to create wardrobe illusions. Space is limited, so call (626) 963-7868 for reservations now.
            Oct. 17 – Ribbon Cutting in the morning and Anniversary Celebration during Third Thursday festivities in Glendora Village, 5-8 p.m. 20% off purchases that day.
            Oct. 23-30 – Play Ball for Prizes
            Oct. 27, 3:30-5 p.m. – Scarf It Up Breakfast – Tips on how to creatively use scarves this season.

            Undercovers' products range from 32A-40DDD, 38G and small-3X. Customer information is kept so no one need remember brand, style or size when making a return visit. A conscious effort is made to support California companies, made-in-the-USA products, to actively recycle with bags and products and be environmentally conscious.
