    I love Christmas. My husband and I visited Bronner's this past summer, and we love this place. I spent about 2 hours walking around and taking it all in while my husband relaxed in the cafeteria 😊. I would love to visit again 🇨🇦.

    I was just talking about Bronner's this week. My sister used to work at Rooster's Cafe at Zehnder's. I bought a set of angel ornaments there that say peace, joy, love that I hang on my tree every year.

    Also be sure to stop in at Tony's diner in Birch Run! Their breakfast is amazing 🤩

    This is my favorite place in Michigan. It’s near my sister. It started as as tiny little store and evolved to this. It’s wonderful. Even grown men are in aww when they walk in. My husband looked like a little kid when he went in the first time.

    I live in Tennessee now, grew up in Flushing. It was a tradition of mine from age 16 to 47 to go to Frankenmuth to kick off my Christmas shopping beginning of November. I would buy myself a beautiful ornament. To this day Age 65, I pull out those ornaments and walk down memory lane. I really miss going there every year. Lovely place

    Where did you eat? In Frankenmuth? Zehnders? Bavarian Inn? Or Tony’s by the outlet mall? Some of the best choices so close together! It’s an hour or so from where we lived and family still does. It was usually a whole day event to go up.

    I love that store.
    When I was a kid, an elderly couple and their daughter, who were close friends of my family, and were like grandparent figures to me would take me there every year. They'd drive me 3 hours across Michigan just to see it and another 3 hours just to get us home after spending the whole day there... dang I haven't seen that place in over 15 years! The shop hasn't changed much, but the merchandise sure has been updated... man I feel nostalgic. Sad that those friends of my family have passed away, but would love to visit Bronners again. And relive some of those memories.

    I LOVE Bronners grew up in MI still reside. My family helped build the chapel in Frankenmuth. We have a family suite dedicated to us in the Bavarian Inn. As a child I used to be able to play inside Bronners before they would open. Wally and his wife were very close friends of my grandparents and bc parents. It’s a MUST SEE ❤❤❤❤❤

    Years ago while there I signed up for their Christmas catalog. I buy things every year! Beautiful ornament from different countries! I buy friends and family gifts and they love them! You can find things no one else has! You have to have the famous chicken dinners. They have penny candy that you remember from long time ago! Merry Christmas to you all!
