Honored to be the September featured business of the month! We love this community!
Chamber of Commerce "Business of the Month": Cook Insurance Agency, Inc.
When walking around the Historic Butler Square, it’s hard to miss the brick storefront at 7 N. Main Street. Originally constructed in 1895, the building connects Butler’s rich past with its bright future. It has stood as a fixture of local commerce for decades, and since 1934, Cook Insurance has been helping protect the families, farms, and small businesses that make our community home.
As an independent agency, Cook Insurance offers competitive coverage across vehicle, property, commercial, life, and health insurance. Being situated right in the heart of town means their team is never far from the people they serve—whether assisting long-time residents, guiding teen drivers, or welcoming new business owners to the square.
"Insurance you can trust, anchored by a team that genuinely cares about the town we share."
Beyond policies, claims, and coverage options, what truly defines Cook Insurance Agency is their unwavering commitment to the Butler community—especially its younger generation. The team consistently steps up to ensure local students and athletes have the resources they need to thrive:
Direct Support for Local Schools: From donating directly to support student needs at Butler Junior High and High School to sponsoring educational programs, the agency invests heavily in local education.
Cheering on the Bears: You'll always find the Cook Insurance team proudly supporting Butler Bears athletics and joining in town-wide spirit during Homecoming Week.
Youth & Family Safety: The agency routinely shares helpful safety guidance for families, from preparing teen drivers for the road to seasonal home and property maintenance tips.
A strong community relies on businesses that do more than just operate—they give back, show up, and invest in the people around them. Cook Insurance Agency, Inc. exemplifies what it means to be a champion for Butler.
