Home Plate Deli & Caterers and Olive’s Country Store have been insured by Ryan & Ryan Insurance Brokers for almost 10 years. When asked why they chose R&R as their insurance agency, Alex responded by stating:

“Just like us, Ryan & Ryan is very involved in the community and supports numerous local events and fundraisers. We love that about them. And on the professional side, I find the staff at R&R very accessible. Whenever I need something, they get back to me within an hour. They have been able to get us very good coverage at a reasonable rate, and not only for our two commercial locations, but on the residential and automotive sides as well.”
