Managing a Fireworks Stand or Fireworks Megastore is the Perfect Way for Your Organization to Make Money!
Click here to fill out our application online.
How It Works
Your group operates the fireworks stand and sells the fireworks on consignment. You take a significant percentage of the money from the fireworks sold and return the unsold merchandise back to our company for full credit.
How Much Money Can You Earn
The average first-time stand operator makes $2,000-$5,000 or more, but this can be much more depending upon the location and management of the stand. Experienced operators who graduate to larger stands can earn much more! When operating a Fireworks Megastore, a non-profit can make $10,000 to $25,000 or more per year, some of which is guaranteed.
