Pro Fireworks, Michigan’s largest fireworks business, has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1978 when James Stajos witnessed his father selling fireworks out of a car trunk. Fast forward to today, Stajos is the CEO of Pro Fireworks, operating 15 brick-and-mortar stores across Michigan with plans for expansion in 2025.
Describing his stores as the ‘Apple or Costco of fireworks stores,’ Stajos takes pride in offering a clean shopping environment with quality products at competitive prices. With over 100,000 square feet of combined showroom space in locations like Grand Rapids, Sterling Heights, Kalamazoo, and Petoskey, Pro Fireworks aims to provide customers with a wide range of options.
To assist customers in making informed decisions, Pro Fireworks has implemented an innovative ‘pro player’ system in-store. This allows shoppers to scan products and watch demonstrations on large TV screens, ensuring they know exactly what they are purchasing. Additionally, online videos are available for every item sold in the stores, offering a level of transparency and information that roadside tents may not provide.
Stajos emphasizes the importance of buying fireworks from regulated, safe sources like Pro Fireworks, as opposed to roadside tents that may lack consistency and quality control. By supporting local Michigan businesses like his, customers can enjoy a reliable and enjoyable fireworks experience while contributing to the community.
As the Fourth of July approaches, Pro Fireworks stands ready to light up the skies for celebrations across Michigan, showcasing a dedication to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction that has defined the company’s journey from a car trunk in 1978 to a leading fireworks retailer in the state.
