Allstate to open customer information center

Allstate Insurance Company has announced that it will open a $21.9 million customer information center in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area. The nation's second largest home and auto insurer says it will hire more than 500 people to help consumers around the country who call Allstate through the company's 1-800-Allstate sales and service line.

The 75,000-square-foot facility will be built in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area and is scheduled to open in September 2011. Officials say these calls range from providing after-hours customer service for the Allstate's local agencies to outbound customer calling.

The new Idaho center, he says, will increase the company's flexibility to serve all customers, essential to Allstate's multi-channel business model.
