Fireworks are something that are close to my heart and when they are worth it I get 'em!…read more This spot doesn't have the vibe as it's definitely overpriced and the staff has a very poor attitude so much so that we walked out because who needs to deal with that when there are numerous places in the area selling the same goods who are happy to help their guests! Overall it's a fireworks stand and you can find them everywhere so just go to the other one you'll be happy you did!

Most are standing around on their phones. I even asked some employees if I can do this with the price of this they all told me "yes" but when I get to the register manager tells me "these specials don't work we can't be at out 100% with these coupons/papers" I'm sorry but that's not my damn problem you lied to me. Get off my face with that bs I don't recommend this place absolute garbage.

This is my favorite fireworks retailer by far!!! Scott runs a great store and he has…read moretoo-good-to-be-true prices on everything. My wife and I keep returning to spend more money just as we did last year leading up to the Fourth. Scott is very helpful in explaining the differences between the choices you might be hung up on and he's familiar with everything he sells. There are also tv's on the walls so you can SEE the fireworks in action. We watched many minutes of videos and kept changing our minds about which big ones to buy! You will not regret shopping here. We cannot recommend it enough.

I ventured in to Venture Fireworks store this evening to pick up a few items for the 4th. From the…read moreoutside, this place looks cool. Very patriotic, with flags along the fence line, and the building and parking lot were well maintained. We were greeted at the front door by a young man, who immediately noticed that we had children with us, and offered them lollipops. Good start. The store isn't all that big, so no worry of getting lost. They have a decent assortment of pyrotechnics for their limited square footage. The store is located not far from the state line, so it's perfectly situated for the neighboring state. The folks at Venture are very nice and attentive. But heres the rub. Not only will you be able to blow up your piece of the neighborhood, be prepared to blow a hole in your budget. Their prices are as steep as Everest is tall. They do offer a 5% discount for paying with cash, but who carries that much cash?! Rumor has it that if you mention the ad that's displayed in the women's bathroom at Pier 500, you can get an additional 5% discount. My advice is, if you're traveling through Missouri on vacation, stop and load up at one of their huge discount warehouses. But if that isn't an option, pay the good folks at Venture a visit. Quick Tip: I'm speaking directly to you, the owner of Venture Fireworks. Dude, cut us a break. Your prices are embarrassing. No joke, embarrassing. You can easily slash your prices by 30%, and make up the difference in volume. You'll still be able to retire fat and happy.

Gotta address the unfavorable reviews. Been going here for many years. Close to the Twin Cities--of…read morecourse they will get a price premium for that. Saves me another 35 min total driving time to the big place down the freeway. My time is worth something. And I have absolutely no problem with the number of high school kids the owner is willing to carry. They have all been super friendly, respectful,and helpful. I don't expect them to be highly professional. I sure wasn't at that age. I am not in any way affiliated with this business. Just appreciate the value in a closer option even if it costs more. They also offer a military discount.

This is where you go if you are serious about your fireworks!!!…read more This is the warehouse, not a retail store. So there's a minimum order of 800 bucks and everything is sold by the case. The savings are VERY significant. It's worth the drive if you have the bucks...or if you and a couple of buddies want to pool your money and make a big order. The warehouse (actually 2 HUGE warehouses) are in a nondescript commercial business and warehouse area. When you go up the drive (between both warehouses), the office is on the right side. They have a small display area so you can pick what you want. Then they go "pick" it for you out the the warehouse. The staff here are AWESOME! All of them are super nice, super helpful, and super friendly. Take a peek in the warehouse. It's amazingly clean and organized. It looks like you could eat off the floor. A note to everyone from Minnesota: Since our governor is a pansy and doesn't trust us to have real fireworks, make sure you check with your local laws before making a purchase. Our legislature and Marky Mark don't allow anything that shoots or goes "boom"! -Daddy Maxx Retro
