Alan Company, which transacts as Phantom Fireworks, was founded in 1977 by Bruce Zoldan, according to the company's website.
Their business sits on a 17-acre complex near to the central business district of Youngstown, Ohio, and employs around 350 people during the industry's peak, seasonal months. Phantom is the largest consumer fireworks seller in the country, with 79 consumer retail showrooms set up in 15 states and over 1,500 temporary outlets open seasonally in 17 states.
On Saturday, Phantom and other importers were granted a much-needed reprieve: as talks between the U.S. and China thawed on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Japan, Trump announced he would hold off on imposing the new tariffs.
