With the Fourth of July coming in with a boom, fireworks are on everyone’s minds. But the recently constructed Robertsdale’s Fireworks Supermarket sells fireworks for any celebration from gender reveals to weddings.

“We’ve even had sales for funerals,” said Terry Watson, store manager.

Watson also mentioned how organized the store is the bathrooms that are clean enough to serve as a rival to Buc-ee’s, Robertsdale’s Fireworks Supermarket’s neighbor. This 20,000-square-foot warehouse has isles wide enough for all customers to browse the extensive selection of fireworks.

“With a store this big we can always fit one more person,” Watson said.

The Fireworks Supermarket’s holiday hours are from 7 a.m. to midnight every day of the week.

With the purchase of personal fireworks, it is important to be aware of city codes and ordinances concerning fireworks or similar products. Here are some cities with specific rules surrounding firework use:
