America’s Thunder Fireworks

I don’t know why Unilocal filters out legitimate reviews on awesome things… same thing with the strip clubs in Louisville, it only shows 1 and 2 star ratings for 5 star businesses.
Anyway, America’s Thunder is a spectacular facility that would annihilate any hillbilly tent stand out of existence. Super clean store and the staff is great. I got a ton of fireworks for $ 100, and they have touch screen testers of what fireworks you are interested… see and hear them before you decide which one. Too cool!
Also, the owners are the reason legislation has passed to buy fireworks in Kentucky so you don’t have to drive across the river to get them. You can thank their efforts for being able to purchase in-​state.

I’ve been a fireworks aficionado my entire life. Since I am regularly on the road travelling long distances for work, I take the opportunity to stretch my legs at every fireworks store seen. I can honestly say the prices and selection here cannot be beat. The store is locally owned and family run which makes it even better. Owner Dennis and his wife are usually there and always helpful. I highly recommend America’s Thunder Fireworks, its worth the trip even if a few hours away. And even with the competitor offering buy one get one free, the prices here are still better.

I’m from Massachusetts, so I know very little about fireworks, apart from sparklers, but I was visiting with family in the area for a relative’s 60^th birthday party, and another cousin coming from Florida who has a lot of experience offered to do a fireworks display, if I’d get the goods. We sorted out a budget and a few family friends suggested I go to America’s Thunder. The store was a little overwhelming at first– they have a massive selection, and I’m relatively clueless! I was immediately put at ease, however, when the sales clerk assisted me– and he really went out of his way to do so.
I explained my budget, and what I was trying to achieve in terms of effect, and felt a bit foolish explaining that I liked «the big ones that look a bit glittery» and was less of a fan of «the loud ones that look like a flare” — needless to say that I got just the help I needed, they were incredibly patient with me, and very helpful, and they subtly enquired about if I’d have help, making sure that *I* wasn’t the one lighting them, since I was SO clearly inept. ;)
They really took the time to help me choose the right fireworks for a wonderful, unforgettable end of the night surprise, and my cousin from FL who actually set everything off was impressed with what I had purchased for the money. I’ll be sure to visit them again the next time I’m in the area, to get my fireworks fix, and I’d definitely recommend the place to anyone in need of some fireworks– no matter what your budget, these guys can definitely help you put on a spectacular show! I really appreciated the customer service, enthusiasm for their products, emphasis on safety and budget consciousness. Highly recommended!

I’ll make this as blatant as possible.
This place sucks. The «owner» is a childish money hungry prick. They do not have the best prices and things are broken up and sold individually in order to make the most profit. BIG is the best fireworks store in our region, not these guys. Anyone claiming to be the best usually isn’t.
Also… What a stupid name!
