High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland is a retail store in Frankenmuth, Michigan that is the "World's Largest Christmas Store." Designed with an Alpine architecture (see chalet) and operating year-round, the building is 7.35 acres (29,700 m ) in size with landscaped grounds covering 27 acres (109,000 m ). Outside the entrance are three 17-foot (5 m) tall outdoor Santas and a 15-foot (5 m) tall snowman. Inside, there are approximately 800 animated figurines at various locations throughout the store. Bronner's parking lot can accommodate up to 1,080 cars and 50 buses. Some 100,000 lights illuminate Bronner's half-mile (800 m) long Christmas Lane in the evening. Michigan designated Bronner's as an "Embassy for Michigan Tourism" in 1976. Bronner's employs over 500 people during the holiday season (between October and Christmas).
