I have had a number of customers request that I have one in the store. I would like to know I do have insurance for my store and the agent isn’t 100% sure if I would be covered. What type of insurance should I get that would cover me and my store?

Good question. The type of insurance that you would need to have placed for the use of the treadmill at your shoe store would be errors and omissions coverage for negligence and have specific mention for the treadmill. I suggest that you consult with an insurance broker as to your special needs for placement of the desired policy of insurance.
