Myers & Bell is an independent insurance agency located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1980 by Clayton Bell and Robert Myers, both Rob and Clayton felt their community was in need of comprehensive insurance solutions. They opened their doors on Main Street in Ephrata and resided there until 1990 when they relocated to N. Reading Road in Stevens, between Ephrata and Denver. In June of 2018 the office returned to Ephrata, joining a community of businesses in a former Donecker’s building on State Street.
