Businessman, Wally Bronner; Founder of the Bronner's Christmas Wonderland (known as the World's largest Christmas store) in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Wally started out with a sign painting company and eventually started to make and sell commercial sized Christmas decorations. The Christmas Store (Bronner's Tannenbaum Shop and Bronner's Bavarian Corner) contributed to make Frankenmuth, Michigan a hot spot for visitors from near and far; along with the town's 'little Bavaria' theme and famous chicken dinners. As business increased, Bronner consolidated his businesses in 1977 on a 28-acre piece of land on the south side of town. In 1991 a building addition brought Bronner's Christmas Wonderland (store, office buildings and factory) to a space the size of five-football fields. Mr. Bronner was noted as a deeply religious man whose personal and business motto was: "Enjoy CHRISTmas, It's HIS birthday; Enjoy Life, It's HIS way." He was often found in the store during the Christmas season greeting customers and leading groups in holiday carols.
