Greg Shelton began Shelton Fireworks, LLC at age 19 back in 1975 with a 4×8 foot stand at the edge of his hometown of  Chillicothe, Missouri. His youngest brother, Scott, was 10 years old and wanted to go out and mind the stand for his brother. Tallpaul (dad) then became involved because he tagged along with Scott. Pictured at right: Shelton boys in 1965. Left to right: Greg, Scott, and Gary. 

Greg’s expansion started after his graduation from college in 1978. He built three Missouri warehouses in 1978-79 & 81. In 1992, Greg started his Indiana expansion with his first effort at Fremont. Son, Scott went to manage Fremont and now has 45 years experience selling fireworks at the tender age of 55. Tallpaul has spent the season with Scott over the past 20 years. In the early 2000s, Greg built warehouses at Fair Play, and Blacksburg, South Carolina. Alabama was next at Robertsdale and Cusseta.

Son, Gary, manages the biggest Shelton warehouse at Exit 22B, Interstate 94, Porter, Indiana, which was built in 1993. At this time, Greg has 14 warehouses in Missouri, Indiana, South Carolina and Alabama. Tallpaul & Hazel like to go to Robertsdale, Alabama, for its big show on New Years Eve. The crowd really shows up for their celebration supplies. Greg has made several trips to China over the years as a majority of our fireworks come directly over to the U.S. on containers from China.
