The owners said due to the increase in sales they have been able to hire more people who were hit financially by the pandemic
“Sales have been great all year. People actually shopped early because of all the stuff that’s going on because they wanted to avoid the late minute rushes, so we’ve actually been really strong going into the holiday,” said Tom Gregor, the co-owner of Sky King Fireworks.
If you still need to purchase fireworks for the holiday, the store is offering specials and discounts on its entire inventory.
