Poor Paul’s Fireworks

Visited the store today GREAT SERVICE very friendly staff and very helpful even gave me some free stuff
Being from cali and new to the area and this being my first stop and most likely last for fireworks will definitely come back for more great fireworks and great deals a lot of inventory

Poor Paul’s is as good as you can get. While the place may not look like much from the outside, inside you will find the most helpful/​friendly staff anywhere. I did a great deal of price comparisons this year, and was surprised by the prices Poor Paul’s offered. All their items were considerably cheaper than everyone else.
I recently stopped by to load up for a large fourth get together and was courteously assisted every step of the way. I felt like a VIP the entire time I was shopping.
Poor Paul’s has made a customer for life.

Poor Paul’s is like a redneck stock exchange. It’s almost as fun to go there as it is the shoot the fireworks. My friends and I always go there in preparation for our roman candle wars. They have the best selection and the prices can’t be beat, unless you’re up for a drive to Mexico.

I was rather shocked that Unilocal had the incorrect location for this business.
I am not shocked that there aren’t many reviews in South Carolina, at least in this area.
Man, I stuck out around here pretty bad. The locals could smell «city folk». Even worse they could smell a «damn yankee.»
Despite that and my North Carolina license plate I rolled down the way and came here. I recall looking this place up online from various searches and was surprised at this place. It was like a frigging warehouse full of fireworks from top to bottom.
Now normally I wouldn’t give a place five stars because it’s impressive… but I will give it because of awesome customer service. In 2004 and 2005 I purchased loads of fireworks here. I had my trunk full and a 5 foot long duffel bag full of them in my back seat. The only reason why I did so much repeat business (3 trips in 2 weeks each year) is because of the service.
The guy who watched the place must have been 21 years old at the time. I was looking for some good mortar shells and I asked his opinion. He brought me out to the parking lot and just said «listen and watch.» He ended up lighting one off right on the street next to the road and it was the loudest legal mortar I’ve heard. (Excalibur 2003 – 2005 edition btw). When I informed him of my desire of semi-​wholesale prices he lowered the cost drastically on everything I purchased. He gave me free bottle rockets, saturn missles, a box or two of the mortar shells.
This is all due to the fact that I spent a pretty penny. I wish I had that money back… but man…2004 was an awesome year at my family’s 4^th of July. 65 minutes of non-​stop action set up on 10 different stations, 3 different racks and only one mishap. (Loaded a shell upside down causing one of my racks to blow up and send wood and nails flying at me and my uncle… woops!)
Hit this place up if you’re in NC. You may not get the best prices like you used to, but this is a good business.
