Located at 6180 Taylor Mill Road, the store is stocked with thousands of different types of fireworks ready for purchase.

Vito Partick Casullo III, the owner, expressed his passion for fireworks, mentioning the evolution of their business from tents to trailers and eventually to the current building when fireworks were legalized in Kentucky.
