Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia at the ware­house at Warn­er Vil­lage in Char­lieville an em­ploy­ee said the de­ci­sion was made at the end of 2018.

The es­tab­lish­ment is brac­ing for an in­flux of sales on De­cem­ber 31 as the New Year hol­i­day ap­proach­es.

The em­ploy­ee said cus­tomers will have the op­por­tu­ni­ty of var­i­ous spe­cials in­clud­ing sim­i­lar to its Box­ing Day sale on some items which in­clude buy one, get one free.

The fire­works come in dif­fer­ent cat­e­gories such as mul­ti-shot box­es, ground spin­ners, aer­i­al spin­ners, ro­man can­dles, foun­tains, nov­el­ty items like crack­les and flash and ranges from $1 to $7,500.

The em­ploy­ee al­so em­pha­sised the com­pa­ny’s po­si­tion when it comes to safe­ty.

“All our prod­ucts have safe­ty la­bels/warn­ing. When cus­tomers come to pay we al­so ad­vise them on spe­cial pre­cau­tion­ary mea­sures. We have ban­ners and pre­cau­tions print­ed on the bags.”
