Phantom Fireworks expands into new location
NILES, Ohio (WKBN) — Pyrotechnic lovers rejoice: Phantom Fireworks is coming to the Eastwood Mall Complex. Ron Zoldan is the vice president and head of the development department for Phantom Fireworks and says the company has been in talks with the Eastwood Mall and the Cafaro family for the past three years to blast this location into the mall complex. This is the company's first-ever mall complex location, and they're very excited. 'It's definitely a nuance for us, but we're excited to be in this location,' Zoldan said. 'There's 12 million people that visit the Eastwood Mall each year, so we're hoping to be a part of that Eastwood family and we're hoping to bring customers to the Eastwood Mall that are coming for fireworks and vice versa.' He said they hope to have the new location open by Memorial Day weekend or the beginning of June, depending on how construction progresses. While opening is still at least a month out, the 'Phantom Fireworks' sign is already in place. Zoldan says at least for this first year, the steep tariffs on China should not impact the new store's stock, as they already have about 90% of their inventory. 'In the coming years, it surely could affect costs of fireworks and the amount of importing we can do, but we are putting our faith in the administration that we will get past it and be, exemptions that need to be made for industries if they cannot go elsewhere will hopefully be put in place.'

Eastwood Mall ends Fashion Week with healthcare heroes
NILES, Ohio (WKBN) — Saturday was the final day of the Eastwood Mall's 2025 fashion Week. For the final show, some healthcare heroes hit the runway. It was the Akron Children's Hospital's Me and My Hero show. Kids who are patients at the hospital strutted, posed and dressed in their best with their doctors or nurses. The show was sponsored by the Cafaro foundation, but it was also a fundraiser for the hospital. Machelle Syx with Akron Children's says it was a big day for everyone involved. 'It was great because it's really about the community coming together to support our mission and our patients, and that's evident by people surrounding that runway right now,' Syx said. Any attendees who donated to the hospital had a chance to win a special prize valued at $400. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
