Several of you have asked, so it’s time we make a post. After 24 amazing years, we have made the difficult decision not to open our fireworks stand this season. 💔 As many of you know, our house sold this spring, much quicker than anticipated. The plan was to have one last year, which would have been our 25th year, but things happened very quickly and we no longer have our location. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise as this year has been a very busy year for us. Our daughter (granddaughter) just finished her senior year of high school. She has spent every 4th of July from the year she was in momma’s belly to last year, out at the stand. Customers have watched her grow right along with us 🥹 Between all of her senior activities at the end of the year, along with her dance activities, and moving from a home we lived in almost 35 years, we haven’t had a lot of spare time to even think about fireworks. And yes, for those of you who don’t know, running a fireworks stand takes a lot more time than just the week we are open. It’s a lot of going to shows, picking out product, ordering, pricing, advertising, etc. So again, this may just be the break we needed. ☺️
We are incredibly grateful for the support, loyalty, and friendships we've built over the years. What started as a small, side-gig business quickly became a tradition for so many families, and we feel truly blessed to have been a part of your celebrations. Thank you to every customer who stopped by, shared stories, and made each 4th of July memorable. It’s been fun and your support has meant more to us than words can express.
While our stand won't be opening this year, we will always cherish the memories and community that made these past 24 years so special.
P.S. I’ve already had a few people offer their locations for a stand in the future. So hopefully this isn’t a good bye, but a see you later 💙❤️
Love the Riley’s and Rodriguez’s
