Troxell has acquired Denton-Merritt-Dycus Insurance Agency, a Springfield-based agency that has served the community since 1960.
“This acquisition is part of a broader effort to grow intentionally while staying true to who we are,” said Todd Sowle, president and CEO of Troxell. “Denton-Merritt-Dycus has built something special over the past 60 years. Their commitment to relationships, service and community mirrors our own, and we’re proud to welcome their clients and team to Troxell as we continue to build for the future.”
Denton-Merrit-Dycus is located at 2800 S. Sixth St. As part of the transition, Dave Merritt will remain actively involved and available, while John Merritt will continue serving as the primary point of contact and join Troxell as an agent.
In addition to this acquisition, Troxell recently expanded into Decatur with a new office and has acquired the former Land of Lincoln Credit Union building at 300 South Grand Ave. W. in Springfield, adjacent to its headquarters.
“We’re incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built in Springfield since 1960,” said Dave Merritt. “Choosing the right partner was important to us, and Troxell’s reputation, values and community focus made that decision clear. We’re confident our clients will benefit from the additional resources while continuing to receive the personal service they expect.”
