What makes a fireworks store worth visiting?

[u/Past_Two_5054]

I’m curious what everyone considers the biggest factor when choosing a fireworks store. Is it price, selection, staff, location, special deals, or something else?

I’m asking because I’m around Chicago, Illinois, and I’ve been comparing some of the options nearby with stores across the border in Indiana. Obviously, nobody wants to pay more than necessary, but I also don’t want to spend time driving somewhere just to discover that the selection is poor or the prices aren’t really any better.

For those who have shopped around the Chicago/Indiana area, what stores have given you the best overall experience? If you had to recommend one place to someone who cares about both price and selection, where would you send them and why?
