INEZ — Peoples Insurance Agency celebrated the grand reopening of its location in Inez.

Peoples announced in April that the former Elite Agency became part of Peoples.

“We are excited to continue growing in Eastern Kentucky,” Peoples Bank senior vice president-sales manager Casey Lequire said. “The addition of Elite Insurance and the new locations will allow us to provide an even better experience for clients and prospects.”

The office is the former location of Elite Insurance at 66 Park Place.

“We are excited to have The Elite group join the Peoples Insurance Agency family,” Peoples Insurance president Staci Matheney said. “It fits into our strategic plan to be able to offer insurance solutions to our Peoples Bank customers in the Pikeville, Prestonsburg, Paintsville, Inez and Louisa locations.”

Peoples also celebrated grand reopening events Monday in Pikeville and Louisa.
