Rude and Misleading Advertising.
Stopped by on the 6th of July, seeing a sign that said, "up to 90% off" and "blow out sale". Went in to ask if they have anything left that is 90% off. We were told that they sell year around, thus their prices are already great so nothing was 90% off. We said, OK thanks and proceeded to leave. It was rough because my 6 year old started crying because she had been excited to get some post 4th sale fireworks. This negative experience was not noteworthy.
But then, what appeared to be a manager pursued us outside trying to argue that their prices were really good. We shared that we were only interested if it was a big 90% off sale such as the sign referred to. He wouldn't stop yelling at us. I asked him to stop yelling at us.

   Read moreI've been buying fireworks in this area for 15+ years and have been to every store here. Fireworks World used to be my favorite, but I think they've slipped.

No way to know they rung it up correctly, and I do think they overcharged at...

When cities put on a big fireworks show, they are the same as this place sells. People in Texas shoot off their artillery shells that are not that impressive but, I shoot off the big 60 gram shells I get from Missouri... Everyone around immediately ask where I got mine from? They sound like a cannon and the shower of sparks that explodes have a diameter of 210 feet! Every time I drive thru Missouri, I time it so I can stop to buy fireworks during business hours. The staff is very helpful and will explain exactly what each item will do. The prices are very fair and they always have what I want in stock. I am a...
