About Winco Fireworks International, LLC

Starting with a small 60 square foot stand in the summer of 1964 in Pittsburg, KS, John & David Collar thought selling fireworks would be much more fun than mowing yards all summer long! After they each made nearly $250 that summer – they were hooked and never looked back. Each summer they went back to stand determined to give customers good product at a fair price, but more importantly build trust in a customer that would return each year. By the winter of 1979 Winco Fireworks had grown enough that it finally was incorporated. They purchased their first “official” warehouse in Stanley, Kansas. That summer, the entire Collar clan pitched in to help fill orders, invoice customers and make deliveries. That is a tradition that has carried over to this day. Winco Fireworks is a true family business and relies not only on family to work, but on employees that are like family to John and David.
