How It All Started

Phantom Fireworks, the unrivaled leader in the consumer fireworks industry, owes its origins to the entrepreneurial spirit of Bruce J. Zoldan. More than 40 years ago, Bruce embarked on a remarkable journey that would transform the fireworks landscape. At the time, he worked as a salesman of non-food rack merchandise to grocery and convenience stores. However, it was his keen sense of opportunity and customer demand that propelled him to venture into a new realm: fireworks.

In the early 1970s, Bruce listened attentively to his customers' desires and recognized the untapped potential in the world of pyrotechnics. Responding to their requests, he began selling a line of sparklers, igniting the spark that would eventually evolve into the renowned Phantom Fireworks we know today. Through Bruce's unwavering dedication, entrepreneurial vision, and commitment to customer satisfaction, Phantom Fireworks has ascended to become America's foremost consumer-based fireworks retailer.

Driven by the unwavering passion of Bruce J. Zoldan, Phantom Fireworks has experienced exponential growth, expanding its footprint across the nation. With retail stores and 80 showrooms in 15 states, over 1,500 temporary sales venues in 17 states, and a thriving primary warehouse and corporate office in Youngstown, Ohio, the company's presence continues to soar. Furthermore, Phantom Fireworks proudly supplies 4th of July products to numerous national retail chains in 47 states, catering to the demand for consumer fireworks. As testament to its unrivaled quality and appeal, Phantom's wholesale fireworks division is also experiencing rapid growth.

Bruce J. Zoldan's indomitable spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence have firmly established Phantom Fireworks as the industry leader, trusted for its unrivaled selection, exceptional service, and commitment to safety. From humble beginnings to a nationwide phenomenon, Bruce's legacy lives on through Phantom Fireworks' dedication to delivering unforgettable experiences and igniting the magic of celebrations for people across the country.
