According to the Bronner's and the Frankenmuth town brochure, this IS the world's largest Christmas store. It's more than a bit overwhelming. With more than 50,000 items and a store the size of 1 and 1/2 football fields, the first thing you get upon entering is a map.
Bronner's is open 361 days each year and has a Christmas Lane which is illuminated nightly.
We parked adjacent to The Silent Night Chapel, an exact replica of the original in Austria where the famous carol was written. The signs leading into the chapel contain the verse in 300 languages, and the carol is played continuously.
As you may imagine, the store is divided into 15 sections, each with its own theme. It runs the gamut from Animals & Pets to Shop by Color.
If they don't have it, you probably don't need it! One of the cuter ornaments I encountered was symphonic instruments. They had literally all the instruments ready to hang on your tree, making it a very pricey tree indeed. Regrettably, Bob didn't take any pictures of the instruments.
Bob and I managed to escape without a purchase, but if you're interested & getting ready for the holidays early, visit
Bronners or call 800-All-Year.
Tomorrow we leave for New Hudson, for maintenance at the Cummins Coach Care facility to have a look at our Jake Brake, which is only working 94% of the time.
