Our story: The Booker's Bang difference

Discover what makes Booker's Bang more than just a fireworks stand. Learn about our passion, our history, and our unwavering commitment to bringing the best "bang for your buck" to Edgefield County.

Our founding: A passion for pyrotechnics

Booker's Bang was founded in 2002 by local Edgefield resident Travon Carter and his pyrotechnic partner, Jonathan West. United by a deep love for explosives and pyrotechnics, their goal was to give back to the local community by providing a wide variety of hand-picked quality products to the residents of Edgefield County.

Honoring a legacy: The name behind the bang

In Travon's words:

"Aladdin Harris, known to many as “Booker,” was a smart young man with a genuinely kind heart and soul. Though we were cousins, my grandmother raised us as brothers, and that’s exactly what we became. His passing hit me hard—I felt the weight of no longer being able to be a big brother to him.

As time went on, I realized I needed to find a way to honor and remember him. That’s what led me into the fireworks world—a fitting tribute to Aladdin, who was truly the firecracker of our family. His energy, spirit, and light continue to inspire everything we do.

That’s how “Booker’s Bang” was born."

More bang for your buck: Our customer promise

At Booker's Bang, we believe in true value. We don't follow the "Buy-One-Get-One" free gimmicks that others upsell. Our mindset is simple: the more you purchase from us, the more we bless you with free products! Ask any of our regular customers, and they'll tell you why they keep coming back. We truly appreciate our returning customers and treat them like VIPs!

"The staff at Booker's Bang actually walked me through how to set up an entire show for my family.  No one has ever done that with us before.  They helped me to create an actual 'show', instead of just a bunch of people setting off fireworks.  Thank you so much!"

"I tried out Booker Bang last July the 4th.  I purchased a good amount of fireworks.  I was shocked how much free product that they blessed me with after the purchase!!  I only shop there now!"
