Dimond Bros. Relocates as Lewis Insurance and First Alliance Financial Group Combine Forces.

Champaign, IL (July 15, 2004) – Dimond Bros. Agency, offering a wide range of insurance since 1867, recently announced an upcoming relocation of its presence in the Champaign-Urbana area to 102 W. Springfield Ave., at the corner of Springfield and Neil, in Champaign.

The move comes on the heels of a merger between Dimond Bros. and First Alliance Financial Group of Champaign. First Alliance joins the former Lewis Insurance Agency under the Dimond Bros. umbrella and will move to their newly remodeled and expanded space on August 1.

"Bringing both Lewis Insurance and First Alliance Financial Group into the Dimond Bros. family has expanded our operations in the Champaign-Urbana area," says Don Bartos, owner of Dimond Bros. "As such, we have addressed the need for more space for our expanding staff with this relocation to a very visible and central location in the area. We will be able to serve our existing and future clients better than ever from this location."

Dimond Bros. has been a rapidly growing agency in the past year, acquiring agencies in Springfield and Rantoul as well as Champaign.
