Where do people usually shop for fireworks?
I’m trying to figure out where people around Chicago, Illinois usually go when they want to buy fireworks without spending a ridiculous amount of money. I know there are plenty of places around the area, but I’m more interested in hearing about stores that people actually consider worth the drive rather than just picking the first place they see.
I’ve also noticed that some of the better-known fireworks stores are actually across the border in Indiana, which makes things a little confusing when you’re searching from Chicago. I’m mainly looking for a place with a decent selection, reasonable prices, helpful staff, and an overall good shopping experience.
For anyone who regularly buys fireworks around this area, do you usually stay in Chicago, Illinois, or drive into Indiana? And which stores have you found to offer the best combination of selection and pricing?
