Hi, We are Don and Kristie Lathrop of Great Lakes Insurance, and we'd like to tell you a little bit about our agency.

Great Lakes Insurance began back in 1998 as a captive agency representing American National Insurance in Cloquet. Eight years later we made the decision to become an independent insurance agency, representing more than just one company. Being independent provides us and our policyholders much more choice when it came to choosing the best coverage and finding the best value.

Whether you have the ideal history, preferred companies desire, or a not so perfect history, we find the right coverage, with the best company, at the best price for you.

Great rates and service for my commercial building. Don was very informative and found the perfect policy for me.

Extremely friendly and helpful! Zach is very professional, efficient and helps with any questions and/or concerns at any time! Most insurance agencies are hard to get a hold of but Zach is always right on top of it! My husband use to work for them years ago and the owners are amazing! Friendly and welcoming of us "new comers". Not only is the staff awesome but the prices are hard to beat. We have continued to be clients because of the prices! I highly recommend this company to everyone!

Great Lakes Insurance has been great! Zach Walters is my agent. He walked me threw my first time having insurance and when I bought a new car he responded and had me a new policy within 24 hours! Makes sure I get the best for the cheapest. Wonderful service I will not insure threw anyone else.

We have had auto, homeowner, ATV, motorhome and rental insurance with Great Lakes for over 25 years. In recent years, CSR Denise has assisted us with all our questions and pricing. She is a GEM, always professional and willing to help. I highly recommend Great Lakes, can’t find GREAT customer service like she provides!

I actually wanted to see how good my rates were and I asked a few others to quote me apples to apples. None of them could touch my price. Not to mention they are always quick to respond to anything I need. So great customer service and great rates!!! Highly recommended.

Thank you to Zach for finding us insurance coverage. Zach has an amazing attention to detail and a tenacity for solving problems. He was patient and made sure I understood everything. I would definitely recommend Great Lakes Insurance. --Peg Apka, Black Goose Chimney & Duct

Zach showed a real interest in our business. He found us an insurance policy that other insurance companies were either unable or unwilling to find. Zach showed an evenness of temper and a tenacity for solving our insurance concerns. He waited until my wife understood all aspects. On top of the great service, working with Zach saved us several thousand dollars.

Zach went out of his way to help our business find insurance last year after we were notified that our insurance was to be cancelled. We greatly appreciated his efforts. It is very evident to me that Zach is passionate about helping others. Since then, I haven't hesitated to recommend Zach and Great Lakes Insurance to other business owners I know and will continue to do so.

Of course I'm biased ,
But, I'm proud to say Casey is a honest/ loyal & trust worthy Insurance Agent.
He carries the Alaspa name in business honorably, just as his grandfather ( Toivo) and I , his father, did for 80 years, loving and servicing this community.
