September 10, 2019 by AC Editor

This is the agency’s 33rd agency acquisition overall

Kaplansky Insurance has added the John C. Gallagher Insurance Agency to its growing ranks. The Gallagher Agency is the second acquisition for the Needham-based agency and its 33rd agency acquisition over all.

The acquisition of Gallagher is integral to the future growth of Kaplansky. This acquisition presents a compelling opportunity to continue our rapid expansion throughout Massachusetts.

According to the terms of the transaction, Mr. Gallagher, who is the second-generation owner of the agency, will retire from the agency after the completion of the sale.
