Cody Burroughs State Farm Insurance opened its second office at 362 Third St. in La Salle, within the refurbished gas station at the corner of Bucklin and Third streets.

The insurance agent has another location at 313 S. Spalding St. in Spring Valley.

Burroughs said he is going to embrace the design of the former La Salle gas station, which was being renovated for a possible restaurant. Customers will be able to sit at a counter to meet with insurance agents and garage doors will open into an office area where customers can bring their vehicles in for estimates.

Burroughs said he and his father collect antique gas pumps and he plans to put some on display.

Call Burroughs at 815-223-1059 for more information.
