In Caryville, Tennessee "Firework superstore" was a.. firework super store who would sell fireworks n stuff. There was a fair/amusement park in that lot before it, later after it left, they left the Farris Wheels, which Firework Super Store would decorate it to fit the blue red and white theme. The Farris Wheels never became used however. Firework Super Store would quickly become popular in Tennessee for having great Firework deals. TN souvenirs, the "Titan rocket" which was a huge rocket statue that advertised the fireworks they sold. The infamous "Worlds longest firetruck" which was more of a prop you could take pictures. The "Partiotic Palace" which was a stone palace looking build that people could take pictures as well. Sadly, Firework Super Store burnt down in 2014 from a electrical issue in the attic, leading to a fire that would set all the fireworks off, sending them flying all over the Interstate. After they shut down Interstate i75, it would take the firefighters 2 hours to put out the huge fire, leaving the building a crumbling brunt mess in the end. Sadly, Firework Super Store never reopened or rebuilt their shop, leaving the Farris wheels, Titan rocket, Patriotic Palace, and their Worlds longest firetruck in the lot to rot over the years. We know that Firework Super Store reopened back in 2023 with a Firework stand in a big white tent but don't know if they are still around. A BBQ place run by a couple (That is almost never open) called "Smonin' Butts BBQ" has moved their little trailer looking food stand into the lot so we can assume they have a shared ownership of the land. Currently, if you find the BBQ place open, you are free to go and look around and the vine covered and rusty fragments left behind from Firework Super Store.
