Fireworks industry finds stable ground after pandemic, demand expected to stay sky-high

Brothers Mason, 10, and Declan Wheeler, 7, craned their heads to talk to employees of a fireworks stand over the counter as they helped their dad shop Thursday.

Mason held a cellphone and calculated the family’s total on an app as they picked out items that would sparkle, smoke or shoot into the sky.

The family came from Garland to Pyro Penny’s in unincorporated Dallas County to buy their holiday fireworks early. Declan’s mom, 31-year-old Macey Wheeler, said the family will return July Fourth to the shop, where people can shoot off their fireworks on about 30 acres of land near the Trinity River.
