fireworks sales in tents ..

has anyone done the fireworks sales in tents you see around town a couple of weeks before the 4th.

I heard this is a work camper type deal.

just looking for info on how this works.. guess (they) provide the location, tent and product. you supply 24-7 security and sales and theft prevention services for a percent of total sales..

at one set up at local walmart parking lot i did not see a camper around but did see a couple of generators chained to a light pole.

thanks for info

    that is not the point of the first question in posed.. I know you only work for, and it more than 5 days more like 14 days, the time the tent is up and make money.

    there was a post on workkamper.com site about the fireworks tents but not many people have done it.. Kinda like selling Christmas trees you work for a set number of day on Christmas tree lot and make a certain percentage of the profit.. i have heard of RV people making 2-3 thousand dollars for a month work, plus get a place to stay as well.

    that is not bad.. was wanting to know about the fireworks deal if anyone knew but apparently no one knows for sure.

  • I was hoping to see someone who has done this reply. A WalMart I drive by everyday going to work had a tent set up for a couple of weeks with a MH sitting nearby. I assume the folks in the MH were running the sale as when I went by early mornings, the MH was parked blocking the entrance to tent. Never had the chance to stop when they weren't really busy, so I could chat about how they worked their tent. This morning the tent was empty and the MH gone, just waiting on tent company to come take down.
  • Locally, some thing like 90% of the firework places are local charities fund-raisers all staffed by local members of said organization.
    The others are family operations.
  • Probably should stop by one of them tents and have a chat with the folks working there.
  • Depends on the area, I'm sure. Around here, my impression is it's local folks who open a store for a few weeks.
