Fireworks World was born in Rock Port, Missouri back in 1978, when Jim Brown opened up a “little” depot in the parking lot of his Trail’s End truck stop. Much to his surprise the depot did quite well. The fireworks bug bit him.

In 1980, Jim built his first air-conditioned superstore and began to look for additional locations. In 1984, Alabama Fireworks World was built and was soon followed by stores in Springdale, Arkansas; Slidell, Louisiana; and Marshall, Eagleville, St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Missouri. In 1986, the original superstore was razed and the current Fireworks World became the dominant presence in Rock Port.

In addition to the permanent showroom superstores, Fireworks World operates many seasonal locations in the Kansas City area. Fireworks World is an importer and distributor, as well as a retailer of superior quality fireworks. We want your shopping experience in any of our locations—permanent or seasonal—to be first rate. Our goal is to provide a safe, warm and welcoming environment where you are encouraged to ask questions.  Our trained staff will give you personal attention to ensure your celebration is safe, fun, memorable and most importantly, exactly what you envision.
