In my experience, a very good source for fireworks in the Mid-Atlantic region. They carry Glorious products, and I recommend their "New Century" line of #200 tubes. Patriotic's Web site is informative, well-organized and has photos of nearly every product they sell (a big plus for me). Only wish they could expand their inventory to include more brands (Great Grizzly, Dragon Eggs, Cannon, Excalibur mortars, etc.).

As a new wholesale pyro enthusiast, I have enjoyed every visit to Patriotic. I am a cash paying customer, and they have gotten my order ready and didn't mind when I had to make changes in pick-up date. I've compared prices and haven't found many cheaper!

I have made this trip twice now. The first trip I got there 15 minutes prior to their closing time. I was told that I would have to come back another day. After talking for a few minutes and getting the facts out that I had an order in that had already been pulled one of the owners opened up the warehouse and gave me my order.
Second trip was very nice. They were very friendly and patient as I made several additions and changes to the original order. I know it isn't much but they gave my daughter some sparklers which made her day. I am also aware that it is their slow season, but while having a good sale I would adjust my hours accordingly.

The prices are truly good and while there is a decently large stock of goods, it is 80-90% all Glorious brand. Patriotic serves VERY well for a bulk of my consumer pyro needs each year. What I have found myself doing is then topping off my stash with select items from FPI which is in the same general vacinity (right off Rt 83 once in Maryland below York, PA). At FPI you pay more - but that is why you become particulalry selective as you then have Cannon, Brothers, Shogun and Winda to select from.

Overall, a very good store. I was most impressed with the advice and the shipping cost. I think they have a deal with a shipping company. There are companies with a better variety and lower prices.

The staff at Patriotic is GREAT. They are very informative and friendly.
Wholesale prices are great. I particuarly enjoy the post July 4th sales. Mon-Fri hours on the off season... I wish they were open maybe one Saturday each month, for at least a few hours. This would definetly help with people who drive a few hours to get there.
I've never lauched the Excaliburs, but after reading much about them, I wish Patriotic carried a better line of reloadable shells.
The website is very, very informative. Each item is carefully arranged by product type, and is easy to find. A search engine within the site would be nice, but then again, since I know this site pretty well, I don't need this myself.
Again, I think these guys are great.

Been going to these guys for 5 yrs now........Prices blow Phantom "out of the water"!!!! No question. Jack is very friendly and knows lots about the products he sells!!! Great Glorioius selections, but they need some other brands too. Also needs more variety of tubes. Only New Century carried. 200's & 300's. I get the assorted case of each, but am bored of them, after all these years.
They have a "retail" store on site too, but some of the prices make it not worth your while. I only buy some "little stuff" there, while I wait for my order to be pulled.
It's a 2.5-3.5 hr trip for me, from NYC, depending on Jersey Tpke traffic, which is usually horrendous for awhile around exit 9. First exit in MD, only 10-15 min of of RTE 95. Plenty of gas stations, and fast food joints once you exit the Hwy!!!

I always get great fireworks at great prices. The quality of the products make up for the variety. The items they have are all you need. If they don't carry it you don't need it.

I selected "Awesome" for the selection because of the brands they carry it is. If you understand that they are a AFW/Glorious/Orion distributor and not a "One Stop Shopping" retail outlet you will be completely satisfied with them. Prices are great (for the Northeast) even without any specials, specials make them awesome.
