Griffey Insurance Agency

Griffey Insurance Agency is an insurance agent in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. The agency writes policies for auto, home, life, health and commercial coverage, and it has always operated as an independent agent. It holds a rating of 3.40.

The agency traces its start to January 1921, when William J. Griffey opened an insurance office on Thompson Ave. in downtown Excelsior Springs. Five generations of the Griffey family have since worked in the business. Higdon Griffey joined his father in 1932, followed by William J. Griffey II in 1962 and Richard R. Griffey in 1969. In January 1988, 67 years to the month after the agency was founded, William J. Griffey III joined as the fourth generation. Bill IV now represents the fifth generation of the family serving local families. The agency has occupied several offices over the years, all within the same 200 feet of commercial space at the corner of Thompson and South streets, and it still serves some of the same families that were clients in 1921.

Griffey Insurance Agency sits on South Street, about a tenth of a mile from the Excelsior Springs Museum and Excelsior Springs City Hall, and roughly two tenths of a mile from Isley Boulevard, Paul Craig Park and Saint Louis Avenue. The Excelsior Springs Post Office is about three tenths of a mile away.

Longtime commercial clients have described the agency handling their coverage for more than ten years, and another client has relied on it for home, auto, health and business insurance for over 20 years.

For a family that has written auto, home, life, health and commercial policies in Excelsior Springs since 1921, Griffey Insurance Agency represents a century of continuous local service.
