Without a doubt, the Walmart, Costco, Target pricing are much better than the stands. The contracts for pricing were signed well in advance of $100 bbl oil pricing and $40,000 shipping charges to the USA. While the Big Three (Jake's, TNT, and Phantom) charter container ships to bring in the volume of fireworks, so likely 15% off the $40k price. Even so, 68 Cubic Meters puts a huge price tag add $558 per Cubic Meter being shipped. Given that 18 months prior, a container cost $15k to bring in and even 12 months ago it was $25k, getting the price at $40k per container raises the costs of good so high that they're not making a living for selling through Walmart/Costco/Target. The Stands got stuck with trying to offset the losses they got hit with for stocking the stores at Cheap Retail. Given the lure of high commissions to non-profit groups to operate the stands, the laborer at the stand really get nailed. And generally, the industry views beautiful
I remember my walmart here in richmond virginia sold this many fireworks for one year after glen youngkin became governor walmart only sells those poppers that shoot paper everywhere😢
Thanks for your value and fountain content!!! Are you in a safe and sane state? These are probably some of the best fountain prices I've seen, even at brick and mortar or online stores. That said, my favorite place to go is online, especially if you are planning on making your fireworks purchase for a few months at a time for free shipping!
Sorry to hear that. Your best bet is to check the Walmart website for stock before driving to stores. To see fireworks inventory, create a Walmart account, type "fireworks" in the search field, then select the "in store" filter. If you then change the "my store" location, you can see what items are in or out of stock at each location.
They only sell underloaded, overpriced fireworks in California,for fundraising. You know this isnt California because wire sparklers are illegal because a kid could step on a hot one and burn their foot. Thank God they protect you from yourself.
Well, although I hate the fact that we are so restricted...I also think that a solid 20-40% of the population here is very seriously retarded so I understand somewhat why we dont sell certain things. We had like 8 wildfires in my county alone on July 5. Im sure itd be 80 if every Cleetus, Tyrell and Manuel had access to 100 shot cakes
@@andypalencia191 Not every store has the fountains and fireworks assortments. Some only carry novelties like sparkers and pop-its. Your best bet is to check the Walmart website to find locations near you that carry them.
They do not. TNT has ample warehousing nationally. Fireworks don't change for them so there isn't a "we're not going to sell that next year" pressure to get rid of seasonal item.

Hi! Yes, I am in a safe and sane state, so fountains are pretty much the only thing available around here.
Where is it Sold from in Any The World Country?
So the thing is stands support local group and non profit organizations while Walmart doesn’t
Thanks for the video. What Walmart and target are these? I just drive to Southriding and Sterling Walmarts and they don’t have any of these.

Sparklers were $17.99 here in CA 🌴
15 in pa at tnt crazy plus 18% tax
Wow they wild
Do they have these in California?
Nope. Think there is a law that all fireworks in Cali have to be sold through a non profit, not like at Walmart
@@outdoorfanatics4596 should change that it's horrible how they made that law

Wow what city and state is this 😢
This video was filmed in Virginia, near Washington, D.C.
Where are you located.
Virginia
@@sowistful what i live in VA and i have never seen fireworks in the Walmart??

@@sowistful do you know if they have any in the DMV area? Because that is where I live
To be more specific around the Mount Vernon area
Where is this?
This video was taken at Walmart and Target stores in Virginia.
Do you know if the fireworks go on clearance after the 4th like most holiday items at Walmart?
I'm sorry, but I don't know. Most of the stores around here sell out of fireworks before the 4th.
They do not. TNT has ample warehousing nationally. Fireworks don't change for them so there isn't a "we're not going to sell that next year" pressure to get rid of seasonal item.
At tnt stands it is 70% off and buy one get 1 free
