In 1980, Bill Varney opened the Varney Agency operating from a single desk in his auto parts warehouse representing one company. During the past three decades, Varney Agency has grown to over 23 locations, several added through acquisition and many as a result of organic growth.
Today, Varney Agency’s locations are conveniently located from Fort Kent to Tampa, Fla. and from Bethel to Calais. With a commitment to excellence, the Varney Agency employees are driven toward protecting what is important to their customers. Local, friendly insurance professionals are the core of this family owned and operated business, now three generations strong in leadership.
