WATERTOWN — AAA Western and Central New York acquired The Jones & Doldo Insurance Agency earlier this summer, consolidating the office into its AAA Watertown Travel & Insurance Center branch at 19472 U.S. Route 11, the organization announced.
“We’re excited about this investment in the Watertown community,” AAA Western and Central New York President/CEO Tony Spada said in a Sept. 9 news release. “We continually look to acquire insurance agencies as part of our strategic plan, and we are thrilled that we were able to create jobs and expand our Watertown location while also furthering our commitment to members and policyholders.”
This acquisition enhances AAA’s insurance portfolio and underscores AAA Insurance’s commitment to expanding its service offerings and delivering comprehensive insurance solutions, it said.
“By integrating The Jones & Doldo Agency’s specialized knowledge and experience in commercial insurance, specifically in Watertown, AAA Insurance is poised to provide even more tailored and robust coverage options to our customers in the region,” Senior VP of Sales and Operations James Miller said. “We’re providing clients of both AAA Insurance and The Jones & Doldo Agency with seamless transition and uninterrupted service with continued access to the exceptional coverage and support they have come to rely on. This acquisition reaffirms our dedication to protecting what matters most to our customers, now with expanded services across the region and a suite of products designed to meet the evolving needs of individuals and businesses.”
Founded in 1963 and passed down in 1977 to John Doldo III, The Jones & Doldo Agency was a founding member of the Spectrum Empire insurance cluster, which represents 38 other insurance agencies around the state.
The client base was a mix of property and casualty and commercial customers, most of which were within a 50-mile radius of Watertown. Jones & Doldo employees are now serving their clients from AAA’s Watertown location.
“This is an exciting time, and we’re thrilled to have new members on the Watertown team,” AAA Watertown Manager Barb Park said.
AAA Western and Central New York offers a variety of insurance products including auto, home, renters, life, commercial, motorcycle, pet, and Medicare. It also provides more than 800,000 members with travel, insurance, financial, and automotive-related services.
