(Filed Under retail Lingerie News). Ron Johnson, the owner of Undercover Style at 720 Gaylor St., Austin, Texas confirmed to BODY that he closed his doors on May 31, 2011. Johnson opened Undercover Style in 2003.

"I had to close the business because of the bad economy,” Johnson said. "It’s a shame; we just finished celebrating our eighth anniversary."

Will Zeller of BodyZone Apparel commented, "This man parted the industry in a very admirable way. Ron returned unsold merchandise and has promised to pay us any outstanding balances. This is not the normal way companies close their doors. He’s a class act. I hope he opens another store in the future."
