We don't have stores like this in my state! So my kid was blown away when we walked through the door! And it turned into a fun stop for both of us! Erik what was the first to great us at the door. Absolutely amazing customer service! He was fun and patient with all our wide-eyed 120 questions! He showed us fireworks that would be great for daytime. I shoot off that were kid friendly. He also showed us that there were QR codes on some of the fireworks signs that took us to YouTube showing us how they look and work. The store also had a bunch of TVs mounted showing live videos of their employees shooting off the fireworks so you can see how they worked. SO MANY COOL FIREWORKS OF ALL TYPES! They also had a buy one get one for $.99. No matter the cost. (Pay full price for the highest, next one $.99!!) They had 3 fun "manager special packs" with different price ranges. Nice for the indecisive people like me...or if you are on a time crunch and need to get in and out. I found out that most of the staff are teachers on summer break from the local school. And that cool guy Erik is a high school band director the rest of the year. Curious car that I am, I love asking questions and found out they are local owned shop that is only open from Memorial Day thru July 16th. And had 2 shops in the area (3 miles apart) As I was heading to checkout, I noticed they had a sign up to win almost a $3000 huge human tall collection of fireworks (hey, if I win, I'm more than happy to drive back and find some new friends in WI to help me light them off!) This will absolutely be a must stop place every time we happen to drive thru this time of year! I wish I could give them 10 stars!! They staff were all friend on and amazing!!

I have been to several fireworks stores in the area, and the people here are incredibly kind, but…read morethe prices here are some of the poorest in the area. Maybe if they decreased prices I would give a better review, but over $100 for a lower end 500 gram cake is absolute insanity. Would not recommend, go to fireworks forever or wholesale for better value.

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!

Good service great vale the buy one get one for 99c is amazing and they have a big selectionread more

I want to preface my review noting my experience as a pyro technician…read more Phantom fireworks has slowly depreciated in value over the years, but it still holds up for key people. Phantom fireworks prices are awful without the coupons. 50% or BOGO are year-round events. Therefore the actual saved cash will be far less. However, Phantom fireworks has a great selection of fireworks for ok prices, but don't expect more extreme (and illegal) hot product like salutes from a big box retailer. To really get your moneys worth, do your research and use every coupon you can find. If you are not willing, try going to fireworks forever or Wisconsin discount fireworks for better prices. To finish things off, at the end of the day... If you identify as one of the following phantom could be for you: You expect to spend under $150 You don't need extreme fireworks Your a beginner or intermediate backyard pyro Phantom is not for you if: Your spending $200+ Your looking for hot product Your looking for an extensive lineup of unique fireworks If you're looking for value, check out victory fireworks wholesale in Ellsworth WI. If you're looking for 'hot' products... ...than you have to look harder, I will not be the one to whistleblow. ;)

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.

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
