Discover the remarkable story of AR Schell & Son Agency, Collin County's most historic insurance company that has been serving families since 1930! In this episode of Insurance Talk Texas, we dive deep into the incredible 95-year legacy of the oldest operating business in Plano and the oldest insurance agency in Collin County.
🏛️ HISTORIC MILESTONES: Founded during the Great Depression in 1930, AR Schell & Son Agency represents nearly a century of unwavering service to Texas families. Founder A.R. Schell Jr. wasn't just building a business - he was building the foundation of modern Plano as the city's longest-serving mayor (16 consecutive years) and a founding member of the North Texas Municipal Water District.
👨👩👧👦 THREE GENERATIONS OF EXCELLENCE: This family-owned agency has passed down expertise through three generations, with current owner Jamie Schell continuing the tradition of treating every client like family. Their commitment to excellence shows - they've been rated in the top 1% for customer service in North Texas for six consecutive years!
🏆 COMMUNITY LEGACY: The Schell family's dedication extends far beyond insurance. A.R. Schell Jr. was the first recipient of Plano's Citizen of the Year award and founding charter member of the Plano Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and American Legion. A.R. Schell III served 45 years on the water district board and holds the record for longest Rotary Club membership in Plano history (61 years).
💪 PROVEN RELIABILITY: When you choose Schell Insurance, you're choosing an agency that has helped Texas families through the Great Depression, World War II, multiple recessions, and every major challenge of the past 95 years. Many clients have stayed with them for over 50 years - some families across multiple generations!
🏢 HISTORIC LOCATION: Operating from their historic downtown Plano building since 1957, the agency is literally woven into the fabric of Texas history.
