Mystery of Cheyenne’s Fireworks Frenzy Explained

In the five years that I’ve lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, I have often wondered why there are so many fireworks stores in this city. Well, not so much why there are so many stores, but why they were open year round.

Just as you enter Wyoming from Colorado on I-25 N there are two fireworks stores on Exit 2 (Terry Ranch Road)- a Phantom Fireworks and a Black Cat.  If you take Exit 7 from I-25 N to the various truck stop/gas stations (Love, Sinclair, etc.) and fast food restaurants – Subway, Wendys, McDonalds, Arbys, and a Dennys, not to mention a Quality Inn, and take College east toward Greeley Highway, there are two fireworks stores on the right hand side of the road.

And at the corner of College and Greeley Highway, there is a fireworks store. (Used to be two, but a Black Cat closed in 2016, the site was bulldozed and there is now a Maverik gas station there.)

Yesterday, Sunday, I stopped in at the Phantom Fireworks on the little connector road when you get off I-25 and head toward Terry Ranch Road – their official address is 239 I25 Service Rd.

The store manager Petra Goldberg, shared much information with me, including why firework stores in Cheyenne – and presumably everywhere – are open year round.

It’s because fireworks are used for more than just 4th of July and New Years Day.

  • Fireworks are used at weddings.
  • They are used for “gender reveals” – blue for boys and red for girls – at baby showers and birth announcements
  • They are used for Chinese New Year, and other ethnic New Year festivals
  • They’ve become popular for Halloween – putting sparklers inside pumpkins, for example.

Wedding fireworks and blue or pink fireworks for baby announcements

When you enter a fireworks store in Cheyenne – and I assume Phantom Fireworks is representative of this procedure – you need to be over 18, and show a driver’s license so the clerk knows that you’re from a state where possessing fireworks is legal.

I suppose kids at birthday parties would enjoy seeing Magical Snakes come into existence before their eyes:

Ms. Goldberg was extremely informative – she also told me that the current Phantom store here off of I-25 will soon be replaced by a brand-new, purpose built store that will be practically adjacent to it.

So if you like fireworks, the Phamton Fireworks on I-25 is the place to come – though as mentioned in my first paragraph, there are plenty of fireworks stores throughout the city.

Please exercise care when lighting fireworks, and always clean up the debris afterwards!
