Gross Insurance Agency

Gross Insurance Agency is a 3rd generation independent insurance agency, founded by Frank Gross. When Frank founded Gross Insurance Agency back in 1972, he was focused on building an agency that would help build the local community by educating people on insurance and helping them to receive insurance benefits that were tailored to their personal needs.
