With a wealth of experience spanning over three decades, Houchens Insurance Group (HIG) is recognized as a best practices agency, winning multiple awards, including Insurance Journal's Top 100 Property/Casualty Agency in 2022 and 2023 and The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America Best Practices Agency in 2022 and 2023.

HIG is looking forward to working with IGA members, as they can provide members with access to customized insurance options that are specific to their operations.

"Just like in the grocery business, buying in bulk helps save you money," HIG’s Consumer Staple and Retail Practice Leader Wells Gunn said. "The more customers we have in our programs, the better pricing for everyone."

Good For Grocery

52% of HIG's written premiums have been in the consumer staple and grocery store business, so they are well acquainted with the grocery industry. That's one reason Carlie C's Owner Mack McLamb switched to Houchens Insurance Group.

"I've known Houchens for a long time and I know they do things well," McLamb said. "Their knowledge and expertise of what we have going on sets them apart."

McLamb says he had outgrown their previous insurance group, having trouble finding a group with the expertise to handle their account. After switching to HIG, he has saved a significant amount of money and is very happy with their services.

"I would highly recommend Houchens to other independents," he said. "They understand the grocery business, but also our other businesses as well. The customer service has been dramatically better, whether it be responding to an email or phone call, or their expertise of what we have going on."
