Paige Foriska, State Farm Insurance agent, is thrilled to have her office officially opened for business.

Foriska and her employees recently welcomed Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi and the Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce representatives to her business location at 1800 Washington St. a her grand opening. The group celebrated the opening of the business with a ribbon cutting and refreshments. Teresi said it “did his heart good” to see the business opening and wished Foriska all the best in her endeavor.

Foriska said she chose Jamestown because she saw the most growth and opportunity for State Farm in the city.

“There are two other State Farm agents, but that was not a red flag for me at all because there is so much opportunity,” she said.

Foriska said this is the first time she has owned a business and is glad to be in the Jamestown area. The location is centralized and easy to get to, which makes it a convenient choice for customers, she said. The location serves both the New York and Pennsylvania areas, and offers options such as permanent life insurance, term life insurance, homeowners insurance and more.

After cutting the ribbon, Foriska thanked everyone for their love and support throughout the process.

“I know I wouldn’t be here without my husband and my family,” she said. “I’m very honored to represent State Farm because we are No. 1 in the industry, and there’s a reason for that. That’s why I chose this as my career.”

The business is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on the services and products offered, call 483-2762.
