Josh Goller, branch principal for Highstreet Insurance & Financial Services, cuts the ceremonial ribbon Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, surrounded by staff and representatives of the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce.

HERMISTON — A month after officially becoming Highstreet Insurance & Financial Services, the Hermiston business celebrated Thursday, Sept. 21, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its location, 702 E. Main St.

Josh Goller, branch principal, thanked the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce for hosting the event.

“We really appreciate the partnership we have with you,” he said.

Highstreet Insurance & Financial Services offers auto, home, life, commercial and health insurance, as well as retirement income planning. It purchased Simmons Insurance in 2021 and the Stratton Agency in June.

Goller said Thursday’s ribbon cutting was “a chance to celebrate our growth and our future” and that consolidating Simmons and Stratton “allows us to provide more services to our clients.”

Highstreet Insurance & Financial Services has 17 employees, whom Goller described as “phenomenal.”
