Owner of Wisconsin s Fireworks City, Cele Rasmussen, says the fireworks shelves look a lot like the hand sanitizer shelves did last year. “Buy early because stock is short,” Rasmussen said. “I’d say we’re short by about 30%,” he said.
Rasmussen has been in the fireworks business for over 2 decades and says he s never seen anything like this. Last year there were really no public fireworks displays and backyard displays were everywhere, making up for lost sales to the big guys.
Dealers saw the shortage coming last fall with production of fireworks down in China due to the pandemic. “So we’ve been trying to work on it all winter,” Rasmussen said.
