Insurance Partners of Kansas to move to first permanent space

WICHITA — Father and son Jerry and Eric Johnsen are opening the first of several permanent branches for their Insurance Partners of Kansas.

They started the company, which represents 35 insurance carriers, in February and temporarily were in the Equity Bank building at 7701 E. Kellogg.

They're now moving to permanent space at 707 N. Waco.

"This is the first of four branches we're going to have," Jerry Johnsen says. "We're going to put a branch in all quadrants of the city."

They plan to do that within two years.

Jerry Johnsen has been in the insurance business for 38 years. He says he likes the flexibility of being able to offer customers multiple policy carriers in order to find the best fit.

Brian Gaddis of BG Properties handled the deal.
