Highstreet Insurance Partners has been making significant moves in the industry, with various acquisitions and expansions of its operations, including recently acquiring Georgia-based
Winder Insurance Center, Texas based
Collum Insurance Group, and upstate New York based
H.G. Ellis Agency. Expanding its presence in various regions, Highstreet has also seized Florida-based
Flagler Insurance and
Mitchell Agency, extending to Northwestern with the acquisition of
Columbia Insurance. The company has further extended its employee benefits expertise by partnering with
Wingert Insurance Agency. Other noteworthy advancements include the appointment of
Stazzone to President of Industry Solutions and the formation of
Brightstone Specialty Group.
In contrast, other news from the high street paints a troubling picture, with several major retail chains closing their stores resulting in significant job losses. Continued closures suggest a challenging time for the retail industry as more brands consider withdrawal from high street locations.
WH Smith, a prominent name in the business, is reportedly in talks of selling its high street stores, marking a possible end to its high street presence.
Amidst the shifting landscape, revisions are common. Brands like
Topshop and Topman have given hints of a possible return to the high street. Insight also suggests a dynamic future for the high street, with potential for physical store innovation mirrored by ongoing plans and projects in various areas.
