Shopping Centers and Retail

The Pipino name has been associated with innovation in the development and implementation of insurance and risk management programs for shopping center developers, owners and managers since the industry was in its infancy.

Donald P. Pipino, the father of Company President and CEO Mary Pipino, first insured shopping centers for one of his clients in the early 1950s. As the industry began to grow, so did Pipino. Our specialization garnered the respect of more and more developers, eventually earning Pipino the position as the largest provider of insurance and risk management services for the shopping center industry – a leadership role we still maintain today.

During our six decades of providing insurance and risk management services to shopping center portfolios of all sizes and compositions, Pipino’s innovation has produced success for our clients. We continue to pioneer services geared specifically toward improving bottom line results and top line performance.

Pipino, a North American Partner sponsor for the International Council of Shopping Centers, is committed to the growth and development of the shopping center industry. We keep up-to-date on the topics and trends which are of most importance to the CEOs and CFOs in managing their total cost of risk.
