February 26, 2019
RENO, Nev.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EMPLOYERS®,
America’s small business insurance specialist®, has been named
the workers’ compensation carrier of choice by the Kentucky Restaurant
Association (KRA).
In addition to offering eligible members a five percent (5%) discount,
EMPLOYERS will provide KRA members with information and services to
implement risk management programs designed to help keep employees safe,
reduce costs and promote profitability. EMPLOYERS provides these
resources to all of its policyholders through its Loss
Control Connectionsm, a web-based loss control platform
that combines safety and loss control information with a suite of unique
software programs that can help manage risk and reduce losses.
“I’m thrilled that KRA members can benefit from a strong workers’
compensation plan and potentially better control insurance related costs
due to their membership. Many of the over 7,500 eating and drinking
places in the state of Kentucky will receive great coverage from
EMPLOYERS at a very competitive rate,” said Stacy Roof, President and
CEO of Kentucky Restaurant Association.
“At EMPLOYERS, we are committed to meeting the unique needs of the
Restaurant industry, which is the largest class of business at
EMPLOYERS,” said Ray Wise, Chief Sales Officer, EMPLOYERS. “KRA members
can choose from any EMPLOYERS appointed agents to gain access to the
program. We believe giving members a choice of agents across our strong
national network will add to the value and success of this exciting new
program. Just like the KRA’s commitment to its members, our core focus
is providing policyholders with information and tools to successfully
operate and grow their businesses. We are pleased to join together with
the KRA to provide its eligible members with valuable coverage and
quality services.”

About KRA
The planning for the Kentucky Restaurant Association began in early 1963
between the Louisville Restaurant Association (formed in 1933) and the
Bluegrass Restaurant Association (formed in 1960). The membership of
these two local restaurant associations, which included Col. Harland
Sanders, Ed Hasenour & Fred Kunz Sr., became charter members of the KRA,
with Albert J.Grisanti of Casa Grisanti as the first president. In 1964,
the association was very small, now there are almost 1000 Members. The
Kentucky Restaurant Association is a non-profit organization, run by its
members. A Board of Directors, all members of the KRA, runs the
Association. The state headquarters, located in Louisville, has a staff
available to help with the organization of events & meetings, keep
members informed of the benefits, lobby for restaurant issues in
Washington & Frankfort, and help them with the daily questions and
problems in their business.
