Container shipped overseas. You have to move serious quantities or have a place to store it for 6 months. Not everything has an extended shelf life so you have to keep that in mind with humidity.

What about starting a Halloween store like these places that set up just for October. Then you could give all your TD brethren discounts.

Brah you got to parlay that fireworks stand into a snowball stand. Open the snowball a stand a few months in the summer and have the fireworks stand on the side.

You are the last person on this site that needs to be in charge of a tent packed with explosives

I did it back in the late 80s and early 90s. in high school as a side job.
Big time profits.
Your local in EBRP is Stone Breakers Rocky Mountain Fireworks.
The permits are hell to get and so are locations.

I know of a group of cops who sell illegal fireworks out of their garage. Since the group contains people from all over, they don't get messed with. You have to know them to get there and from what I understand they make really good money, and that is without a legal stand.

I have worked this business for 22 years, location is the number one priority, in Louisiana you need a state fire Marshall permit, state and local taxes, there are about 4 wholesale locations in the new Orleans area,if u import your own you will need to use a broker,here in Louisiana i have seen a decline in income the last seven years

There's one in Port Allen. It's in a bunker-like building next to the porn store.

It gets cold. Keep a campfire lit in the middle of the tent at all times.
