The McBride Agency Acquires More Insurance Agency, Folding Historic Morrison Business into its Family

DIXON, IL May 1, 2026 — The McBride Agency is proud to announce the official acquisition of More Insurance Agency, located at 309 N Genesee Street in Morrison, IL. This exciting transition folds the historic Morrison agency into the McBride Agency family, combining nearly a century of local heritage with a modern, forward-thinking approach to insurance.

Founded in 1942, More Insurance Agency has been a staple of the Morrison community for over 80 years, built on a foundation of integrity, responsibility, and deep personal accountability. Patrick McBride, Founder/Agency Owner of The McBride Agency, chose to acquire the business out of a deep respect for this legacy and a desire to invest directly in the Morrison community.

"Insurance isn't just about policies; for me, it's personal," said McBride. "I got into this business to be a real partner for people when life happens. I chose More Insurance because we share the exact same traditional values when it comes to protecting what matters most to your family and your business. Our goal is to honor the remarkable 84-year history of this agency while bringing the full strength of our combined team to your side."

As part of the acquisition, The McBride Agency will be rebranding the business and remodeling the Genesee Street building. Great care is being taken to respect the architecture of Morrison's historic district and preserve the near-century-old heritage of the business.

Clients can rest assured that the familiar faces they have trusted for years, including Account Managers Christina Geerts and Katey Miller who are staying on to do exactly what they have always done. They will continue to provide the same expert advocacy and tailored consultations policyholders count on.

The acquisition brings an enhanced client experience to Morrison, blending a traditional in-office connection with fully digital service capabilities. Whether clients prefer the always available face-to-face office visit or a completely virtual experience from home, the agency is adapting to fit the modern, busy lives of its policyholders.

All current policies, coverages, and premium payment structures remain completely unchanged, and clients do not need to take any action. More Insurance Agency, now a Division of The McBride Agency, remains fully operational and ready to handle all auto, home, life, and business insurance needs.

For more information, or to view the upcoming office updates, clients are encouraged to call the office or stop by the historic Genesee Street location.
