Black Market Fireworks is the number 1 fireworks wholesaler in Joplin Missouri. Black Market features the biggest selection of fireworks in the 4 states area and like many fireworks businesses was established decades ago. The family was originally in the landscape and nursery business in the early 70’s and decided to add fireworks sales for some extra income after the busy spring season. Many say that selling fireworks is the original “side gig” and there’s no doubt that this family owned business has the passion for fireworks.
