Houchens Insurance Group, an insurance and risk management agency with national prominence and local service, has joined the Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA) as a Red Oval Partner.
The partnership will allow IGA members the opportunity to create customized insurance solutions to protect their businesses, employees and communities on a level unavailable to independent retailers.
“Like IGA retailers, Houchens Insurance Group is focused on our community,” said Wells Gunn, HIG’s consumer staple and retail practice leader. “We are dedicated to serving our clients, co-owners and communities.”
IGA members will gain access to Houchens Insurance Group’s insurance offerings in business, including commercial property, general and management liability, workers’ compensation, cyber insurance, product recall, spoilage and umbrella.
“Just like in the grocery business, buying in bulk helps save you money,” Gunn said. “The more clients we have in our programs, the better pricing for everyone.”
The IGA Red Oval partnership brings together premier manufacturers and strategic industry service providers to help independent grocery retailers develop their businesses, better serve customers and operate more efficiently.
“We’re excited to welcome Houchens Insurance Group to the Red Oval Family,” said Michael La Kier, IGA’s VP of brand development.
“Their reputation as an advocate for independent retailers, expertise in the grocery industry and licensing in all 50 states makes them a perfect partner, as more independents throughout the country join our alliance. We are excited for the expertise and value they will bring to IGA.”
