Home » About Our Agency

MML Insurance is a local insurance agency with roots to Granite City, IL as far back as 1925. We are proud to serve our valued customers and communities across Illinois and Missouri with quality insurance coverage at competitive rates.

The story behind MML.

Maryland Moats Insurance was founded in 1925 and has been a local staple of the Granite City, IL, area ever since, protecting the people and businesses in and around the region. Ken Moats, the previous owner, was originally a Country Company’s agent. He bought the agency in 1985, and at that time it became the Maryland Moats agency. He kept it all the way until 2017 and was active in the agency at all times. At heart, he was passionate about farming, and he owns a farm up in Edwardsville, which is where he retired to. He has trust in Maryland Moats Lexow Insurance to this day that we still insure his family’s business.

Where we are today.

In 2017, Christy Lexow acquired the agency, combining her years of experience running her own agency with the same great people and values that have kept the agency going strong since its inception. This move has allowed us to expand our services to serve clients across Illinois and Missouri, with a focus on the St. Louis Metro East.

Our Mission Statement

At Maryland Moats Lexow Insurance, we strive to help you find the right insurance coverage for your needs while shopping for competitive rates to fit your budget.

Insurance with a purpose.

Here at MML, we believe insurance is more than just a policy, it’s about protecting people. That’s why our primary goal is to provide our valued customers with top-quality coverage at the most competitive rates. As an independent insurance agency, we’re able to compare policies with top-rated, national insurance carriers to help you find the right options to meet your needs.

The meaning behind the car.

On the outside of our office building there is a sign with an old-fashioned car that Ken’s best friend had painted for him. Since that point in time, she has passed away. In order to honor Ken and keep his memory, Christy had it totally refinished. On the license plate, it reads “Moats,” so that Ken’s legacy at the agency will carry on for generations to come.
