Buddy, there are five dedicated fireworks stores within 20 minutes of my house

For comparison, there are two grocery stores in the same radius

Yes, sometimes even at the supermarket. Although I think it depends on the state.

In Finland, fireworks pop-up stands appear at supermarkets and malls in the week leading up to New Year's Eve and then they're gone
