Following New York State's Approval of Small Firework Sales, U.S. Importer Explodes onto Market to Help Locals Profit from Law Change
Last November, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill to allow the consumer sales of small fireworks at certain times of the year. Now, the nation's leading firework importer - Jake's Fireworks - rockets in to scout for individuals looking to cash in on it with a bang. As the State's first wave of firework wholesaling, this year's 4th July could be their most profitable yet.
ELKHART, Ind., Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- While hundreds of towns across upstate New York will repeat their 4th July celebrations this year with beer, burgers and the best of American music, one thing will be radically different – they can finally light up the night with consumer-purchased fireworks. It's all thanks to a new Bill that permits the sales of sparklers and other small fireworks at certain times of year. But, unless individuals in the State agree to act as sellers, millions could be denied the opportunity to celebrate in pyrotechnic style.

Having led the nation's firework importation for almost eight decades, Indiana-based Jake's Fireworks is currently on the prowl for individuals looking to earn extra summer income by selling their products throughout New York State.
"The new Bill will allow retailers to sell fireworks from June 1st to July 5th, within jurisdictions that have opted into the new legislation," explains Jared Hicks, Regional Manager at Jake's Fireworks. "For students, teachers, existing businesses or anyone else with a little extra time on their hands this summer, it presents the perfect opportunity to cash in on what is expected to be a 2015 firework frenzy. With the State's previous ban on all consumer firework sales, millions of people are chomping at the bit to purchase them."
He continues, "Sparklers, fountains and other small novelty fireworks are now legal in some upstate New York local municipalities. What we need, and urgently, is to set up a wholesale network. Our New York-based partners will be the end of the chain, and able to earn income that is only capped by demand."
The team at Jake's Fireworks really do stress that this opportunity is ideal for non-profit fundraising and individuals looking for extra income over the summer.
"With the previous ban, we are well aware that there's hardly anyone in the State with existing firework sales acumen. That's why we will be offering full support and guidance to our sellers. We lead the nation's existing market and have clear-cut blueprints for selling fireworks; all of these will be shared with our partners," he adds.
The nation's firework industry is worth over $800 million in annual revenue and, with their use to be something of a novelty this year, New York State could easily make up a sizable chunk of the market. Those accepted by Jake's Fireworks as sellers will also have a second opportunity to make money in the winter, when sales are re-opened from December 26th to January 2nd, 2016.
Jake's will service New York state from their Elkhart, IN warehouse. The Elkhart warehouse is one of 8 regional warehouses Jake's operates across the United States.
