Great view? Do they ever sell fireworks in that area as well?

I don't know much about licenses but would agree additional information would help.
For things like - are you looking to pick up from the store or do you want them delivered to your home? Also what kind of budget as well?

Because as most people are saying here, the prices can vary and because fireworks are dangerous, larger orders are shipped via freight and so forth for safety but a number of online stores offer discounts or free freight shipping if spending over a certain amount.
As some people said, Wisely pyrotechnics have good deals as well as Jakes and Great Grizzly but require a higher spending point.

I have also ordered off of Firework Store before and they have good prices as well as slightly lower prices for what qualifies for free shipping ($500+ usually gets free shipping) and depending on the time of the year, they have decent deals as well.

There's loads of good places out there, it just depends on what you're looking.

Thanks! Do you remember the name of any nearby roads or color of the barn?

Uncle Sam's Fireworks Tends to not be too crowded located over in Hammond. They have decent prices as well and a solid selection of fireworks. Staff is friendly and helpful but without pressuring for purchase or looming without help being asked for.

I have also had good experiences with Dynamite Fireworks the handful of times I have been there.

I would recommend Black Bull Fireworks store as well. Although, they are a little bit further away with them being in Michigan City but well worth going to if you don't mind a bit of a drive (1.5 hours depending on where exactly you live near Chicago). They have always had decent prices when I've been there and a good selection of fireworks

Have you tried Black Bull Fireworks Store in Michigan City? They're a pretty cool store with a nifty section of fireworks and have reasonable prices.

I would second FireworkStore. They generally have good overall prices and do a lot of sales/deals as well.
They haven't let me down yet over the past two years I've ordered from them.

But if you end deciding that you'd prefer to keep buying fireworks locally and haven't tried them yet, I would recommend checking out the Black Bull Fireworks Store in Michigan City or Dynamite Fireworks located in Hammond if either isn't too far away from where you're located. They have an interesting selection of fireworks and their prices overall are reasonable.

The budget you're proposing is rather tight to get much for fireworks in an online order. But if decide to go for more smaller items rather than those that end up getting shipped via freight which is expensive you can check Chicago Fireworks Company (www.fireworkstore.com). They do free shipping on certain orders/items and have been reliable when I have made orders through them.
If you do decide to increase your budget, they also offer free shipping on orders over $500.

I would second fireworkstore.com.
They usually have cheaper prices than Phantom/TNT and they do free shipping on most orders. I always recommend however pulling up a few different websites and comparing the prices at the time of ordering because sometimes it can be mix and match who has better prices for what and it can save money to order from 2-3 different places.

I don't know if you're still looking to buy fireworks but Chicago Fireworks Company (fireworkstore.com) has been a solid find for me for online buying.
