GTE Financial celebrates the return of Blue Star Insurance LLC to Town N’ Country, expanding comprehensive insurance solutions in Tampa Bay
TAMPA, FL (October 3, 2024) — GTE Financial, one of Tampa Bay’s leading financial institutions, is proud to celebrate the reopening of Blue Star Insurance LLC. at their original Town N’ Country location. This milestone marks a significant expansion in GTE Financial’s offerings following the acquisition of Blue Star Insurance Group Inc. in January 2023. Blue Star is dedicated to providing comprehensive auto, home, business, and life insurance solutions.
August Hopf, Assistant Vice President of Insurance Agencies, shares his excitement about the opening, “When GTE Financial acquired Blue Star, we seamlessly integrated into their headquarters. However, we quickly recognized the importance of face-to-face interactions for our community. This led to our decision to establish Blue Star Insurance’s own building. Our clients appreciate the personal touch and detailed attention we can provide in person, and we’re thrilled to enhance our service in a space dedicated to meeting those needs.”
The reopening celebration will feature an array of raffles—including the chance to spin the wheel for gift cards and other fun prizes. Blue Star takes pride in being a 100% bilingual agency, a testament to its commitment to serving Tampa’s diverse community. The agency’s ability to communicate and understand the needs of its clients in their preferred language sets it apart and reinforces its impact on the local community.
The acquisition of Blue Star Insurance Group enables GTE Financial to deepen its insurance offerings and positions the credit union to assist other credit unions in expanding their service portfolios. This effort aims to enrich the credit union community, offering more robust services to members across the region.
