Happy Monday, mamas! This week we’re introducing you to a local family who own A to Z Fireworks, which has locations in Rogers and Gentry. Robert and Rachael Carter are partnering with us to offer an AWESOME giveaway: Five readers will each win a $100 shopping spree at one of the two A to Z Fireworks locations. (Scroll down for info on how to enter the drawing.)
And here’s another way A-to-Z Fireworks is partnering with us to help out local mamas: they’re offering our readers a 10% discount! Woo-hoo! Just mention the Motherlode discount when you’re checking out 🙂
You can find A to Z at two locations:
- 1514 S. Rainbow Road in Rogers, Ark.
- 704 S. Gentry Blvd in Gentry, Ark.
Robert Carter was born and raised in Benton County, graduating from the University of Arkansas with a degree in business. He’s a licensed contractor and Realtor but also opened his fireworks business in 2008. In 2015, he married Rachael and they are now the proud parents of James and Adelilne. (How cute are those babies??)
The Carters say they love to meet new people, and they’ve created a family-friendly atmosphere for fireworks shopping. Here are some of the ways they make their locations in Rogers and Gentry stand apart from the rest:
- Clean restrooms (Hallelujah!)
- Family-friendly packaging
- Large selection of children and youth fireworks
- Free bottled water
- Well-lit, safe and secure locations
- More than 6,500 square-feet of shopping space with extra-wide open aisles and gathering spaces
- Friendly, knowledgeable staff
- Credit cards accepted (with no additional credit card fees)
We also like that this family-owned business also offers a “No Dud Guarantee” which means that, if the firework doesn’t work, they will replace it with another firework (of your choosing) that is of equal or lesser value. (Receipt must be presented.)
They also have a “Meet or Beat” policy, which means they’ll meet or beat the price of any verified local competitors’ published coupons.
Discount available to these groups: If you work for Walmart or a Walmart supplier or if you’re a firefighter, police officer, part of the military (active, reserve or retired), or if you’re someone who works in the medical field, you’ll receive a discount when shopping at A to Z Fireworks.
